	HMS Agamemnon (1852) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		HMS Agamemnon - Royal Navy battleship ordered by the Admiralty in 1849 in response to the perceived threat from France by their possession of ships of the Napoleon class.
		She was the first British battleship to be designed and built from the keel up with installed steam power, although, due to the inefficiency of steam engines of the period, it was expected that she would spend much of her time travelling under sail power.
		Between 1857 and 1858, the Agamemnon was equipped as a cable ship and laid the eastern half of the first Transatlantic telegraph cable.

		HMS Warrior is now the only surviving iron warship in the world, and is on display in Portsmouth.
