		HMS Lion was a battlecruiser of the Royal Navy launched in 1910, the lead ship of her class.
		She was originally constructed with her foremast and spotting top behind her forefunnel; the heat and fumes made access to the spotting top difficult and after her initial trials she was rebuilt with the foremast and fore funnel switched in position.
		In response she was struck by a salvo from the German Battlecruiser SMS Derfflinger which crippled her, forcing her to fall out of line and Admiral Beatty to lose control of his squadron until he transferred his flag to HMS New Zealand.

	Brian Alexander's Hobbies
		My slightly better aiming, combined with Lion having the only large caliber (1/4") cannons made her look like a real heavy hitter in the club's first year.
		It doesn't matter if Lion is ten knots faster than the ship it is pursuing - by the time Lion completes the turn the other ship is long gone.
		This weakness, coupled with the fact most people stay away from Lion because of the reputation it earned early on, makes it a very boring ship to skipper if you are an agreesive combatant - which I am.
