HMS Leviathan, Drake-class armoured cruiser

Royal Navy - HMS Hornet, an Acheron-class Destroyer that served during the First World War and was sold for breaking in 1921. She was the seventh Royal Navy ship to be named Hornet. Hornet was built under the 1910-11 shipbuilding programme by John Brown & Company of Clydebank, Glasgow and launched on 20 December 1911. She (and her sister ships Hind and Hydra) differed from the standard Admiralty I-class destroyer in only having two shafts instead of three. They had two Brown-Curtis type steam turbines, and twin boilers. Capable of 28 kn (32 mph; 52 km/h), she carried two 4 in (100 mm) guns, other smaller guns and two 21 inch (533 mm) torpedo tubes and had a complement of 72 men. Date: circa 1909
