	Ship And Shipbuilding - LoveToKnow 1911
		The outstanding features which have affected the design of all classes of ships specially are the gradual adoption of oil in lieu of coal as a fuel, the further development of the steam turbine, and, for certain classes of vessels, the progress made with internalcombustion engines (see Internal Combustion Engines).
		In the battle cruisers of the " Indefatigable " class, and the battleships of the " Neptune " and " Colossus " classes, therefore, where a similar arrangement was adopted, the centre pair of turrets were spaced wider apart.
		The " C " class are the first ships, other than battleships, to have superposed guns on the middle line, a sort of spoon-shaped bulwark being fitted to protect the crew of the lower - from the blast of the upper gun firing over them.

	EARLY HISTORY OF SHAFTESBURY HOMES & ARETHUSA
		HMS Arethusa was the fourth Naval ship of this name which derives from the water nymph Arethusa of Greek mythology who, when she was being pursued by Alpheus the River God, turned herself into a fountain to escape his advances.
		The new Arethusa, her conversion completed, was moored at Upnor on 4th July 1933 for a fee of £25 per year and she was officially opened by HRH Prince George on 25th July.
		The old Arethusa was towed away from Greenhithe on 18th July 1933 and thus ended an era of training Shaftesbury boys at Greenhithe which had been going on since the inauguration of the Chichester on 18th December 1866.

		On 5 September the Pathfinder, a light cruiser, was torpedoed and sunk, and on the 13th the British retaliated by sinking the German light cruiser Hela near Heligoland.
		A fourth cruiser, the Hawke, was torpedoed off Aberdeen on 15 October, and on 1 January 1915 the Formidable, of 15,000 tons, was sunk off Start Point on her way to the Dardanelles, with a loss of 600 of her crew.
		The last German cruisers outside harbour were now destroyed, and barely a raider remained at large, while the British went on gathering the fruits of their command of the sea by mustering in Europe the forces of the Empire and acquiring abroad the disjointed German colonies.

		During the period from 1890 to 1892 he was under training ashore at Portsmouth and at the Royal Naval College, Greenwich, as acting sub-lieutenant, emerging with a first-class certificate in torpedo, a second class in seamanship, gunnery, and pilotage, and a third class in navigation.
		He stationed the fifth battle squadron five miles to the northward of him so that it could be conveniently situated to drop into its normal position ten miles north of the battle-cruisers when the whole fleet had finally concentrated, and was proceeding to the southward in accordance with Jellicoe's plan.
		When Leveson reported on his return that only one torpedo had been fired at his force, it was evident that the morale of the German navy was broken, and this opinion was confirmed by the news that the High Sea Fleet had mutinied and refused to obey orders to sail.
