	Battle of Calabria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The battle occurred 30 miles to the east of Punta Stilo, the "toe" of Italy (Calabria), on 9 July 1940.
		Their strategy was to have only one ship targeted at a time, as it was learned during the battle of Jutland that with more than one firing at a single target it became very difficult for the rangefinding parties to tell which rounds were theirs.
		The Italian heavy cruisers were a serious threat in their own right, and could have evened the battle between the main battleships, but with Warspite in the battle the Allied cruisers returned and the Italians turned to restart their initial fight with them.

	The Grand Fleet
		At the same time the Battle Fleet was informed that our battle cruisers were in action.with the enemy's battle cruisers, and an inquiry was addressed to Rear-Admiral Evan-Thomas to ascertain whether be was in company with Sir David Beatty, a reply in the affirmative being received, with a report that his squadron was in action.
		Our battle cruisers ceased fire altogether for about 30 minutes after 5.12 P.M. owing to the enemy's ships being invisible, fire being reopened at about 5.40 P.M. on the enemy's battle cruisers, three or four of which could be seen, although indistinctly, at a distance of some 14,000 yards.
		At 5.10 P.M. the destroyer Moresby,.which had rejoined the Battle Cruiser Fleet after assisting the Engadine with her sea-plane, fired a torpedo at the enemy's line at a range of between 6,000 and 8,000 yards, from a favourable position—two points before the beam of the enemy's leading battle cruiser.

	Shree-class Battle Cruiser - Star Wars
		The Shree-class Battle Cruiser was a central warship class of the Ssi-Ruuvi Imperium fleet, deployed as a command ship in invasions and space battles.
		Battle Cruisers also had five metre tall ceilings since the Ssi-Ruuk were very tall.
		Since the P'w'ecks could not be trusted, battle cruisers had stun traps to ensure that the P'w'ecks followed their orders and keep out of the ship's sensitive areas.

	The Grand Fleet
		Our cruisers ahead seemed to be hotly engaged, but the fact that they were not closing the Battle Fleet indicated to me that their opponents could hardly be battleships.
		The bearings of the enemy Battle Fleet, as given by the Lion and the Barham at 6.14 and 6.15 respectively, give a fair "cut," and the bearing on which the Marlborough opened fire enables the position of the Battle Fleet to be placed with considerable accuracy.
		At 6.33 P.M., as soon as the battle cruisers had passed clear, the speed of the Battle Fleet was increased to 17 knots, and this speed was subsequently maintained.

		Thinking themselves involved in a chase that would end with the destruction of the British battle cruisers, they found themselves under bombardment from Jellicoe's battle fleet, which they had thought to be too far north to intervene.
		Finally, in the last phase of the battle, in a night of intense fighting, the retreat of the German battleships was covered by their lighter ships, while Jellicoe lost time after turning to avoid a potential torpedo attack.
		Despite that, the battle disappointed in Britain, where news of a new Trafalgar had been expected, and the hard fought draw at Jutland was not appreciated until much later, while the Kaiser claimed a German victory.

		The junction of the Battle Fleet with the scouting force after the enemy had been sighted was delayed owing to the southerly course steered by our advanced force during the first hour after commencing their action with the enemy battle-cruisers.
		I formed the battle fleet in line of battle on receipt of Sir David Beatty's report, and during deployment the fleets became engaged.
		During the action between the battle fleets the Second Cruiser Squadron, ably commanded by Rear-Admiral Herbert L. Heath, with the addition of Duke of Edinburgh of the First Cruiser Squadron, occupied a position at the van, and acted as a connecting link between the battle fleet and the battle-cruiser fleet.

	The Grand Fleet
		It is probable that the Black Prince passed to the rear of the Battle Fleet at about 6.30 P.M., and that during the night she found herself close to one of the German battle squadrons, and was sunk then by superior gunfire.
		It seems to be impossible that the 3rd Battle Cruiser Squadron engaged the same vessel, and it is more likely to have been another light cruiser in the enemy's screen.
		The Onslow closed and engaged the light cruiser with gunfire at ranges between 2,000 and 4,000 yards, and then, although severely damaged by shell fire, succeeded in closing a German battle cruiser to attack with torpedoes; she was struck by a heavy shell before more than one torpedo could be fired.

		She was the last British battle cruiser powered by turbines with coal-fired boilers and the last prewar battle cruiser design.
		Like most British battle cruisers, she spent the war with the Grand Fleet or the Battle Cruiser Squadron and put to sea whenever there was a German sortie.
		She participated in the Battle of Jutland on May 31, 1916 and proved to be the toughest of the British battle cruisers there, taking 15 heavy 11 inch hits and remaining in action.

		When it seemed that the Germans were contemplating a class of fast battle cruisers armed with 15" guns (the Mackensen class), the Admiralty drew-up plans for a British equivalent.
		While the intention was to lay these ships down in the summer of 1916, the Battle of Jutland was fought with the loss of three British battle cruisers As Hood was in many respects a larger version of the ships that had been sunk, her design was reconsidered.
		The new Admiral Class battle cruisers were in effect closer in armour protection to the recently built and much acclaimed Queen Elizabeth Class battleships than to preceding battle cruisers.

	Beatty's Report on the Battle of Jutland
		After the first report of the enemy the 1st and 3rd Light Cruiser Squadrons changed their direction and without waiting for orders spread to the east, thereby forming a screen in advance of the Battle Cruiser Squadrons and 5th Battle Squadron by the time we had hauled up to the course of approach.
		In the meantime the 2nd Light Cruiser Squadron had come in at high speed and was able to take station ahead of the battle cruisers by the time we turned E.S.E., the course on which we first engaged the enemy.
		Owing to clouds it was necessary to fly very low, and in order to identify four enemy light cruisers the plane had to fly at a height of 900 feet within 3,000 yards of them, the light cruisers opening fire on her with every gun that would bear.

	KBismarck.com - On-Line Archive - Printing Press
		The sinking of one of the greatest warships of the world, the English battle cruiser “Hood” by the German battleship “Bismarck” in a battle between a German fleet unit against an English heavy naval force in the sea region off Iceland is a new shining proof of the offensive spirit of German naval war forces.
		According to English admissions, the sunken battle cruiser is the “Hood,” which is the largest warship in the world with its displacement of 42,000 tons excluding fuel and notably 45,200 tons when fully loaded.
		With this hit, the battle cruiser “Hood“ suffered the same misfortune that was inflicted upon the English battle cruisers “Queen Mary”, “Indefatigable”, and “Invincible” during the Battle of the Skagerrack.

		But there is a weaker feature than this, which is that, unless the policy of building much faster battle cruisers is reverted to, we shall find ourselves in a position of not having any sufficient number of vessels to catch up and engage the increasing number of vessels of this type possessed by Germany.
		I still hold that opinion, and should advise the battle cruiser as well as the battleship of the future having 4-inch guns for her anti-torpedoboat armament.
		It is observed that in a later design of Battle Cruiser with similar armament prepared in the U.S.A., the increase of the belt armour to 9 inches and the barbette armour to 8 inches involved an increase of displacement to 45,000 tons and a reduction of speed to 33 knots.

		Like the radical new battleship Dreadnought, the new battle cruisers were built to carry all-big-guns but, more controversally, sacrificed armor protection for speed.
		In theory, battle cruisers were to avoid combat in dangerous situations but this would have been anathema to the hard-driving British captains and the whole battle cruiser concept proved to be a failure whenever these large but poorly-protected ships sailed into the range of large caliber enemy guns.
		This proved to be the perfect action for battle cruisers and an overwhelming, annihilating victory.

		In America the battle fleet has been modernised; among other features are, a full speed of 21 knots, a great endurance and heavy protection.
		Since the advent of the 8 inch cruiser, the policy has been to give all 8 inch and 6 inch mountings such an elevation as will allow of aircraft being engaged at long and medium range.
		This design was for a 30 knot battle cruiser; the protection is insufficient for a battleship, and the tonnage saved on speed (battleship, 23 knots), will be available to bring it up to the standard required.
