	HMS Camperdown (1885) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		HMS Camperdown was a Victorian era battleship of the Royal Navy, and was the only member of the Admiral class not to be named after an Admiral.
		At the time of her building there was in existence an armoured cruiser named HMS Nelson, and therefore this ship was named after one of Vice-Admiral Nelson's victories, rather than after the man himself.
		She was a full sister to HMS Anson, and was an improved version of the earlier HMS Howe and HMS Rodney.

	HMS Howe (1885) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		HMS Howe was a Victorian era battleship of the Royal Navy, and was the last of the Admiral class to be completed.
		Together with her sisters, HMS Rodney, HMS Camperdown and HMS Anson she was a progressive development of the design of HMS Collingwood.
		She was delivered at Portsmouth November 15, 1885, complete except for her main armament.

	Ahoy - Mac's Web Log-Stupidity reigns and then Admirals collide-
		The Battleship HMS Victoria, had been launched in 1887, originally to be named Renown, but because she was ready to launch in Queen Victoria's Jubilee Year, she took the name of her Sovereign.
		HMS Victoria wearing the flag of Vice Admiral Sir George Tyron led one division, and HMS Camperdown with Rear Admiral Markham, as second in command, led the second division.
		Camperdown maintained her answering pennant at the dip, and Markham ordered his signalman to semaphore the Admiral to convey to him that he did not understand the Flagship's orders.

	HMS Camperdown
		HMS Camperdown was built at Portsmouth Dockyard and launched on the 24th November 1885.
		The guns shown are 6 pdr quick-firers, and their station on the upper deck was in a part of the ship which would undoubtedly have proved one of the "warmest corners" in action.
		This picture of a party of stokers on board the Camperdown may recall to mind the sad fate of the stokers of the battleship Victoria, who perished under such terribly appalling circumstances when that ship sank after collision with the Camperdown.

	Their Lawful Occasions
		In 1897, HMS Majestic was the Flagship of the Channel Squadron, and Magnificent was the "leader of the second line".
		But the casemates, in battleships of the period (from 1885 up to 1915), were positions on the main deck where the secondary armament was mounted, and were the spaces where smoking was allowed.
		More probably, this is a reference to the loss of HMS Victoria in 1893, which sank when rammed by the Camperdown, which did, indeed, gouge the Victoria's unprotected end open.

		He served as a Gunnery Officer of the turret ship, HMS Monarch in 1885 and subsequently, the new battleship, HMS Colossos in 1886 before returning to HMS Excellent as an Experimental Officer.
		Captain John Fisher, then Director of Naval Ordnance, requested the transfer of Jellicoe from HMS Excellent to assist him in the Act’s implementation, although such a move was contrary to precedent at that time.
		He was on board the vessel, though suffering from Malta fever, when she was rammed and sunk by HMS Camperdown, during manoeuvres off the Levant coast in June 1893.

	THE ROYAL NAVY IN AUSTRALIA
		This was the paddle-steamer HMS Driver, which en route from Hong Kong to New Zealand, had called to replenish her bunkers before sailing for Auckland.
		On 25 March 1859 Captain William Loring of HMS Iris was authorised to hoist a Commodore’s Blue Pendant and to assume command as senior officer of Her Majesty’s Ships on the Australian Station independently of the Commander-in-Chief in India.
		Nevertheless it was a beginning, and it set the pattern for a squadron which was destined to provide Australia’s defence by sea for many years, until such time as the nation was able to build and maintain a navy of its own.

	HMS Howe, Battleship of the 1890's
		HMS Howe was launched on 28th April 1885, she served in both Home waters and the Mediterranean (1895-1896) during which she grounded herself on Ferrol Rocks.
		I have information that HMS Howe was renamed HMS Impregnable: my father, Joseph Shrigley served on HMS Impregnable from the 3rd December 1924 - 30th December 1925.
		It was his first ship and so HMS Impregnable must have been a depot ship.

	Admiral class battleship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The British Royal Navy's pre-dreadnought Admiral-class battleships of the 1880s followed the pattern of the Devastation class in having the main armament on centre-line mounts with the superstructure in between.
		This pattern was followed by most following British designs until HMS Dreadnought in 1906.
		They were known as the Admiral-class because they were all named after British admirals with the exception of HMS Camperdown.

		All eyes were drawn to the sight of the two leading battleships; Victoria and Camperdown, the latter under the command of Rear Admiral Markham, Tryon's second in command.
		Briefly, she was a pre-Dreadnaught Battleship launched on November 24th, 1885 and in 1891 had been the flagship of the Channel Squadron.
		With a displacement of 10,600 tons, HMS Camperdown was slightly heavier than HMS Victoria (10,420 tons) but while her main armament was four 13.5-inch guns, each weighing 67 tons and mounted in twin turrets fore and aft, Victoria sported two massive Armstrong 16.25inch guns, each weighing 110 tons and capable of firing a 1,6001b shell.

	Their Lawful Occassions - Part I, notes
		The casemates, in battleships and larger cruisers of the period (from 1885 up to 1915), were positions on the main deck where the secondary armament was mounted, and were the spaces where smoking was allowed.
		Electric lighting in the accommodation spaces had first been fitted in the battleship, HMS Inflexible, completed in 1881, but economy, and the need to save weight (early dynamos were bulky) combined for some time to deprive small craft of a dynamo for lighting.
		HM King George VI was on the bridge of the flagship, at sea with the fleet in 1939, when the Yeoman of Signals ordered ‘George Six — hoist’, followed shortly by, ‘George Six — Execute’.
