Revision as of 15:16, 20 September 2012

The ten armoured cruisers of the Monmouth class were completed in 1903 and 1904. They were sometimes referred to as the Kent class, and sometimes, along with the succeeding Devonshire class, referred to as "County Class" cruisers.

Searchlights

In 1907, these ships, along with the Powerful, Drake, Cressy, and Devonshire classes and battleships of the Majestic, Canopus, London, and Duncan classes, were to land their searchlights from their tops and obtain two additional 24-inch models from their dockyards for placement on the shelter or boat deck. These were to be augmented by (or further upgraded to?) a pair of 36-in searchlights when they became available.[1]

Armament

During the war, along with those of other older ships, the six 6-inch guns in lower casemates proved of little use in practical sea states. They were moved to the upper deck in spray shields and their old positions plated up. Six 12-pdr guns so displaced were relocated to the forward casemates and after shelter deck. The alteration greatly improved the sea-keeping qualities of the ships.[2]


Dreyer Table

These ships had no fire control tables.[3]

Fire Control Instruments

By 1909, the 10 ships in this class were evenly split into two different types of fire control equipment.

Bedford, Essex, Kent, Monmouth and Suffolk were fitted with Barr and Stroud Mark II equipment with a few gongs and bells from other sources:[4]

  • Combined Range, Order, Deflection: 6 transmitters, 27 receivers
  • Group Switches: 3
  • Rate: 4 transmitters, 8 receivers
  • Bearing: none
  • Range: none

Additionally, this class had the following fire control equipment:[5]

  • Siemens Fire Gongs (turrets): 4 with 2 keys
  • Vickers Fire Gongs (elsewhere): 10 with 4 keys
  • Siemens Captain's Cease Fire Bells: 16 with 1 key

Berwick, Cornwall, Cumberland, Donegal and Lancaster were equipped with Vickers instruments for range, deflection and orders and with Barr and Stroud rate instruments:[6]

  • Vickers range transmitters: 6
