The Mecidiye class of paddle frigates consisted of four ships of the Ottoman Navy built in the 1840s.

The ships of the Mecdiye class of paddle frigates were the first steam-powered warships to be built in the Ottoman Empire.

[2] They were propelled by a pair of paddlewheels that were driven by a 2-cylinder direct-acting steam engine that was manufactured by Maudslay, Sons and Field.

[1] In May 1851, Feyzâ-i Bahrî visited the United Kingdom, the first time an Ottoman steam warship stopped in the country.

[5] All four ships saw service during the Crimean War against the Russian Empire in 1853–1855; they operated together as a squadron commanded by Mustafa Pasha.

Mecidiye was the last-surviving member of the class; in 1888, she was refitted in the Imperial Arsenal, and in 1890, she became a coal storage hulk.
