Cressy-class cruiser
The ''Cressy''-class cruiser was a class of six armoured cruisers built for the Royal Navy around 1900. Their design's incorporation of a pair of 9.2-inch guns and armoured sides served to address criticism directed against the previous — advances made possible by their 1,000 ton increase in displacement over their predecessors. The ships were notably stable, except for a susceptibility to pitching.〔''Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships: 1860–1905'', pp. 68–69〕
==Service==
Until 1908, the ships served in Home waters, the Mediterranean and the Far East. On the outbreak of the First World War ''Cressy'', ''Aboukir'', ''Hogue'', ''Bacchante'' and ''Euryalus'' formed the Seventh Cruiser Squadron. Due to the obsolescence of the ships and that they were crewed by inexperienced reservists the squadron was known as the "Live Bait Squadron". This epithet proved prophetic when ''Cressy'', ''Hogue'' and ''Aboukir'' were sunk in a single action on 22 September 1914 by U-9 near Holland. After the first cruiser had been hit, the following cruisers both came to a dead halt to pick up survivors, making themselves easy targets for torpedoes.
