		From the 11th March 1803 to 17th November 1807 the Minotaur was under the command of Captain Charles John Moore Mansfield.
		In 1810 on 22nd December, under the command of Captain John Barrett, the Minotaur was wrecked in a gale on the Haak Sands off the mouth of the Texel, with around 370 of her crew lost, including Captain Barrett.

		The Minotaur and Spartiate were able to cut off the Neptuno, and tacking around her, engaged her on both sides.

	Minotaur at Animal Gifts Galore
		The slaying of the Minotaur by Theseus in that case indicates the abolition of such sacrifice by the advance of Greek civilization.
		The minotaur, despite a fearsome reputation, becomes a trustworthy and honourable fellow in the quest of the lead characters.
		One interesting angle is the minotaur's need to emerge from the forest to change back to a man on occasion, without which he would quickly die.

	British Navy Ships--HMS Minotaur (1867-1922)
		HMS Minotaur, a 10,690-ton broadside ironclad built at Blackwall, England, was one of six vessels built to the original British concept of an armored battleship: a very long and relatively fast iron-hulled steamer, carrying an extensive sail rig and a large broadside battery of medium-sized (by emerging standards) guns.
		She was also one of the three completed with five masts and, with her sister, HMS Agincourt, had her gun deck almost completely coated with iron armor, a longer expanse of protection than fitted to the other four ships of the type.
		Minotaur took a long time to reach active service: keel laid in September 1861, launched in December 1863, completed for experimental service in 1865 and commissioned in April 1867 (though some standard sources don't have her completed until December 1868).

	BBC - h2g2 - HMS Warrior
		HMS Warrior was the longest warship afloat at the time she was built, and only one other ship in the world, Brunel's Great Eastern, was longer.
		HMS Warrior also had a figurehead on the end of her bow - and she, along with her sistership HMS Black Prince, and the HMS Rodney of 1888 were the last British front-rank ships to carry a figurehead.
		HMS Resistance was the first British ship to be equipped with a ram - Warrior also had a strong bow and could have rammed, but as her bow was a knee bow, it would not have been as effective.

	BBC - h2g2 - HMS Warrior - A538030
		HMS Warrior was a compromise, with her centre of gravity in the middle, and consequently, problems were inevitable.
		HMS Warrior also had a figurehead on the end of her bow, and along with her sister ship, HMS Black Prince and the HMS Rodney of 1888, was one of the last of the British front-rank ships to carry a figurehead.
		HMS Warrior is now the only surviving iron warship in the world, and is on display in Portsmouth.

		Such was the fate of the Minotaur, her captain, and four hundred of her crew.
		It is evident that there must have been considerable danger for boats, from the fact of the second yaul being lost, and Captain Barrett's hesitation before he allowed the gunner to leave the ship in the first yaul; and in charity we must give the Dutch the benefit of this evidence.
		The loss of the Minotaur may be attributed to their not knowing their position; the pilot's desire to put the ship on the starboard tack at twelve o'clock at night, with the wind from the south-east, showed that he thought himself on the English coast.

		HMS Minotaur, along with Defence were stationed on the China Station pre war where they faced the German armoured cruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau.
		As the British ships had a heavier secondary armament the officers of both sides came to a gentleman's agreement that if it came to a fight the British ships would not use one of their 7.5 inch guns to make it a fair fight.

	Echoes of Honor by David Weber - Chapter 3
		Takahashi was the only one who looked anything like genuinely relaxed, but the other two made a good show of obeying her injunction, and she let her own chair come back upright and folded her hands on the table before her.
		The rows of enormous hatches on her flanks were much too big to be normal broadside weapons bays, and they were arranged in a pattern whose like none of them had ever before seen.
		"Minotaur's core ship's company is only six hundred and fifty," Truman went on, and her new subordinates blinked, for that was barely seventy percent of the crew assigned to most heavy cruisers five percent her size.

	Echoes of Honor by David Weber - Chapter 18
		Even with all the personnel for her LAC squadrons on board, Minotaur carried a total company of under two thousand, which was less than most battlecruisers a seventh her size.
		Of course, she didn’t mount the normal broadside weapons of a ship of the wall, but Smith figured that even a conventional warship’s company could be cut by at least sixty percent if the same standards of automation and remotes were applied to her design.
		But the fact was that once Minotaur’s LACs were launched, Jackie Harmon—a mere captain (JG)—had under her command twice as many energy weapons and six and a half times as many missile tubes as the skipper of a Reliant-class battlecruiser.
