==Design & Construction==
The ''Arrogant''s were designed at the instigation of First Sea Lord [[Frederick William Richards|Sir Frederick Richards]] as 'Fleet Rams'. 

==Armament==
===Guns===

Originally:
* four 6-in Q.F. guns on P. II U.D. mountings
* six 4.7-in guns
* eight 12-pdr Q.F. guns
* three 3-pdr Q.F. guns

In 1903-04, the 4.7-in guns were replaced by six additional 6-in guns.{{CN}}

In early 1905, it was approved that the 6-in guns should be equipped with "A" class cross connected sights.{{PQDNO1905|pp. 489-91}}

===Torpedoes===
* two submerged 18-in tubes on broadside forward, depressed three degrees and bearing abeam;  axis of tube was 6 foot 3 inches below load water line and 1 feet 4 inches above the deck.{{UKTorpM1909III|p. 265}}
