Description We have here a picture of the great battleship HMS Ocean, one of the newest and most powerful vessels in the Mediterranean Fleet (1901). Of 12950 tons displacement, steaming eighteen knots an hour, armoured over two-thirds of her length, carrying four twelve-inch guns, twelve quick-firing 100 pounders (six-inch), eighteen 12-pounders. And many smaller guns, the Ocean is one of the most powerful British battleships ever launched. Her consorts are the Canopus, Goliath, Glory. Albion, and Vengeance, all of which are practically identical with the Ocean in essential features.
