	Canopus class battleship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Canopus-class was a six-ship class of pre-Dreadnought battleships of the Royal Navy designed by Sir William White.
		The ships were designed for service in the Far East, where the new rising power Japan was beginning to build a powerful and dangerous navy and would prove itself against the Russian Navy in 1905 at the Battle of Tsushima.
		They were lighter in comparison to the Majestics, the benchmark ship for subsequent battleship classes, and were only slightly longer in length at 430ft.

	Formidable class battleship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Royal Navy's Formidable class of battleships were an eight-ship class of pre-Dreadnoughts built in the late 1890s.
		They were similar in appearance to and had the same armament as the Majestic and Canopus classes, although the Formidables were not as large, being 30 feet smaller than the Canopus class.
		Unlike those two battleship classes, they had no deck or barbette armour, but the class did have belt and turret armour, with the latter being increased from the 6 inches that the other two classes had to 9 inches.

		Distinguishable from earlier British battleships by the two centre-line funnels instead of the side by side arrangement of previous ships., this being the result of the using water tube boilers.
		The class were not given the usual copper sheathing to the hull in order to save weight and provide a shallower draught as it was felt that the good docking facilities in Hong Kong would ensure that fouling (marine growth on the hull) would not be a major problem.
		They were the first British battleships to be fitted with Krupps type armour which allowed a reduction in thickness of armour.

		There are 49 so far, in addition, other hypothetical classes have been inserted to give a balanced impression of how the fleet may look and operate, going back a period of two centuries to the very beginnings of the Federation and Starfleet.
		If the amounts of ships figure is in brackets, it indicates that further vessels in that class are planned, and the current number is only provisional, this obviously is only pertinent to 24th century classes still under construction.
		Final power values given are a fair indication of that class' actual armour and hitpoints capability, and a ship whose power is 100, is there or thereabouts ten times as powerful as a ship that is rated at 10.

		Interesting, because the Canopus herself, was the ship with the most interesting story of the class, and it involved unique and controversial tactics and Winston churchill too.
		Battleships were built to mete out and withstand, the maximum destructive force deliverable at the time of their design and hopefully during their operational lifespan.

		Although generally similar in appearance to the Canopus class they can be distinguished from them by the wider spacing of the funnels and by the forward funnel being closer to the foremast.
		The class had a modified hull form that made them more manoeuvrable than the Majestic class although sea keeping qualities were not quite as good.
		Designed as improved Majestic class incorporating the advances from the Canopus class (Krupp armour, water tube boilers) but using the increased displacement to introduce a more powerful version of the 12 inch gun and to increase protection both in thickness and coverage.
