	The Inflexible Solution
		The rise of the underwater portion of the hull was limited to the 3 inch armoured deck which ran from the forward ram to the stern.
		When built, the Inflexible was fitted with a brig sailing rig, although it was not intended that she should use the rig to fight, merely as a training aid for the crew to participate in evolutions aloft with the rest of the fleet.
		The 1877 committee claimed the Inflexible would take 300 hits and survive, and based on the example of the Chinese ships, which were sitting and helpless targets, it is most probable that the Inflexible would have withstood a similar barrage and proved worthy of her designers' claims; a true credit to the Royal Navy.

		H Hawkes, Commander R.N. HM Brig Camilla was lost in a typhoon in the China seas on her voyage to Japan, 1860.
		In the four or five years since leaving Plymouth, it is likely that at least some of the officers would have left the ship in one way or another - we know from the obituary for example that Commander Colville himself Captained HMS Niger before returning to HMS Camilla during this time.
		The distressing loss of her Majesty's ship Camilla, with all hands on board, in a typhoon off the coast of Japan, is already known to the public.

	HMS Devastation (1871)
		Key improvements adopted in new ships, and worked into the Devastation class as well: electric lights with HMS Inflexible in 1881 (soon followed by electric turret training and ammunition lifts); triple-expansion engines with HMS Victoria in 1888; steel hulls, compound armor, and breech-loading guns, all introduced in the 1880s.
		Her power plant was among the first to be mounted vertically in a British warship, as the lengthened belt armor shielded the protruding cylinder heads (HMS Alexandra of 1878, a contemporary, also pioneered vertical engines).
		It is a tribute to her revolutionary qualities that the one Dreadnought we remember today is the 1906 version.
