	The British Navy Past and Present Chapter 4
		It is more than twenty years since the Iris, a steel cruiser of nearly 4,000 tons, was completed, having a speed of eighteen knots; but for some time she and her sister, the Mercury, were the sole representatives of this advance in speed.
		The Cressy class, six ships of 12,000 tons, mark a great advance in this branch of construction for the speed is increased from the seventeen knots given to Narcissus type to twenty-one knots, and the ten 6-in.
		A smaller type, designated third-class cruisers, should perhaps more correctly be described as despatch vessels, for their dimensions, involving a comparatively small supply of coal, do not enable them to keep the sea for any lengthened period, and their armament is light.

		As part of the Grand Fleet's Third Cruiser Squadron based at the Nore, she was sunk, together with her sister ships Aboukir and Hogue, while on patrol against German minelayers and torpedo boats in the Broad Fourteens off the Netherlands.

		The U-9 launched two torpedoes that split Cressy's hull and ruptured her boilers; the ship sank at 0730 with the loss of 560 crew.

	Boston class cruiser (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In 1968 both Boston class guided missile heavy cruisers were reclassified back to heavy cruisers (CAs), in part due to the extensive use of their 8-inch guns for shore bombardment during the Vietnam War.
		While they had retained their Terrier missiles, the swift advance of technology had made these pioneering weapons obsolete after little more than a dozen years' service, and the ships' main battery were once again their six remaining 8-inch guns in the forward turrets.
		In 1970 both Boston class ships were decommissioned for the final time, eventually stricken from the Naval Vessel Register, and sold for scrap.

		There were a fountain of water, a burst of smoke, a flash of fire, and part of the cruiser rose in the air.
		But I had stayed on top long enough to see the other cruisers, which I learned were the Cressy and the Hogue, turn and steam full speed to their dying sister, whose plight they could not understand, unless it had been due to an accident.
		But this time, the third cruiser knew of course that the enemy was upon her and she sought as best she could to defend herself.

	Aboukir
		HMA Aboukir was a Cressy-class armoured cruiser of 12,000 tons displacement, a steel hull and a compliment of 760 men.
		Although the patrols were supposed to maintain 12-13 knots and zigzag the old cruisers were unable to maintain that speed and the zigzagging order was widely ignored as there had been no submarines sighted in the area during the war.
		Moreover, the submarine had established its worth as an offensive weapon with drastic implications for the conduct of surface warfare for the remainder of the war.

		It was too rough for the destroyers to be involved, and the cruisers sailed without any such escort, very soon after departure, Euryalis was forced to drop out from lack of coal, and damage to her wireless equipment.
		Thus, the elderly British cruisers were bereft of any destroyer support, and in the event of hostile submarines operating in the area, this lack of clear orders could prove to be fatal.
		The three cruisers were steaming blissfully North North East at a leisurely 10 knots, and were not zigzagging to deter any hostile submarine in the vicinity.

		The U-9 was a small, obsolescent submarine powered by kerosene engines, not in the same league with the diesel-powered U-19 class vessels, and was of marginal combat utility.
		Although the cruiser Formidable had been sunk by the U-24 on New Year's Day, the times of U-boats sneaking up to British warships on the open sea whose captains were idly daydreaming were over, and the fast destroyer screens made successful attacks on battleships and cruisers a thing of the past.
