  • Active was long between perpendiculars and had a beam of . Forward the ship had a draught of , but aft she drew . Active displaced and had a burthen of 2,322 tons. Her iron hull was covered by a layer of oak that was sheathed with copper from the waterline down to prevent biofouling. Watertight transverse bulkheads subdivided the hull. Her crew consisted of 340 officers and enlisted men. The ship had one 2-cylinder horizontal return connecting rod-steam engine made by Humphreys and Tennant driving a single propeller. Five rectangular boilers provided steam to the engine at a working pressure of . The engine produced a total of which gave Active a maximum speed of . The ship carried of coal, enough to steam at . Active was ship rigged and had a sail area of . The lower masts were made of iron, but the other masts were wood. The ship's best speed under sail alone was . Her funnel was semi-retractable to reduce wind resistance and her propeller could be hoisted up into the stern of the ship to reduce drag while under sail. The ship was initially armed with a mix of 7-inch and 64-pounder 64 cwt rifled muzzle-loading guns. The six guns and two of the four 64-pounders were mounted on the broadside while the other two were mounted on the forecastle and poop deck as chase guns. In 1879, ten BL 6-inch 80-pounder breech-loading guns replaced all the broadside weapons. Two carriages for torpedoes were added as well.
