A gap of almost 80 years was ended in 1892 with the launch of the fifth, and Edgar-class cruiser, which served in the China Fleet, and during the war saw service in the Atlantic, Mediterranean, Red, Black and North Seas.
The sixth Grafton was the shortest-lived; the G-class destroyer commissioned in 1936 and spent much of the Spanish Civil War evacuating refugees and undertaking neutrality patrols off the Spanish coast.
The seventh Grafton was the first to miss out on military action – though the Type 14 frigate did see some rough stuff in the Cod Wars off Iceland before she was scrapped in 1971.
