		In the 17th Century, the ship of the line was generally too large, inflexible and expensive to be despatched on long-range missions (for instance, to the Americas), and too strategically important to be put at risk of fouling and foundering by continual patrol duties.
		The Dutch navy was noted for its cruisers in the 17th century, while the British and later French and Spanish later caught up in terms of their numbers and deployment.
		This was evidenced by the clash between HMS Shah, a modern British cruiser, and the Peruvian monitor Huascar.

		Two Lion class ships were built in the 1909-10 programme, the second ship ordered under a blaze of journalistic, parliamentary and general public uproar generally known as the "we want eight" campaign, a desire to see eight large armoured ships authorized in the 1909-10 programme in response to fears of German naval ambitions.
		The launch of HMS Invincible made all armoured cruisers afloat obsolete at a stroke, so it was inevitable that Britain's naval rivals would respond by building battlecruisers of their own.
		The four ships of the KongÅ class were the first vessels to mount 14 inch guns (of which they had eight) and were capable of 28 knots, but were armoured in accordance with British practice and their armoured belt was only 8 inches thick at its widest point.
