		The protected cruiser of medium displacement affords a convenient starting-point, as the latest vessels of this type in 1910 were of about the same displacement as the largest first- Second-class cruisers of thirty years before, and a comparison of class representative ships of these classes illustrates the great cruisers.
		The next cruisers to be built were the "Invincibles," which might have been classed as battleships on account of their heavy armament and substantial armour protection; the Dread- former greatly exceeding in power the armament of Fastnet—at an average speed of 25.13 knots, a record speed at the time for a transatlantic voyage.
		The French second-class cruisers may be said to have commenced with the " Davout," of 3027 tons, 9000 I.H.P. and 202 knots, and the " Alger " and " Isly," of 4350 tons, 8000 I.H.P. and 19 knots, in 1887.

		The Andrea Doria is the most famous ocean liner to sink since the Lusitania Titanic, but unlike the Titanic which was at the beginning of transatlantic luxury crossings, the Doria marked of the end of an era.
		And although some wrecks are deeper and can be more challenging than the Andrea Doria, the Grand Dame, forty-four years after her sinking she still gives up her treasures of crystal, china, and artwork to those daring few who brave the seas and the collapsing wreck each season.
		The Andrea Doria presents some interesting challenges to the Captains who charter their boats for passage, the crews that support the operations, the divers, and the authorities.

		One of the most wily fighting men and politicians of his day, Andrea Doria, who is credited as the first man to discover how to sail against the wind, became Admiral of the Genoese Fleet and "Father of his country".

	Origins of the Battlecruiser
		Thus armored cruisers might actually have an advantage over battleships at some ranges, and some proposals (in Italy and Russia) were put forward for ships armed exclusively with 8-inch guns (which were seen as the ideal combination of rapid-fire with armor-piercing).
		In general, however, armored cruisers were fitted with a few big turret guns fore and aft (8-inch to 10-inch) to act as "closers" that could penetrate the other fellow's armor once his topsides had been chewed up by the quick-firers at longer ranges.
		The parallel N3 class battleships were slower, and armed with 18-inch guns; they were given a much lower priority than the "battlecruisers." The Japanese were likewise designing a parallel series of battleships and battlecruisers, where the only difference between types was slightly thicker armor in the battleships, and slightly higher speed in the battlecruisers.

		Of the Andrea Doria, the Italian Line said, "She was also designed as a living testament to the importance of beauty in the everyday world." This was reflected in every part of the ship, right down to the china service.
		The Andrea Doria was not only a magnificent ship, she was emblematic of the times and most of all she was the product of a proud people from a struggling nation who wanted the world to see that it was still capable of producing a masterpiece.
		The Andrea Doria's master might have acted differently had he known the ship bearing down on his was a small fishing vessel, as he was led to believe, but another fast-moving ocean liner also intent on keeping to a tight schedule.
