[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wraith: [QB] As an aside and kind of linked to Timo's observations about pre-dreadnought combat, it may be worth noting that the RN prior to Fisher's reforms had a huge number of elderly cruisers on various foreign stations. These would have been effectively useless in any kind of European fleet engagement or with modern European cruisers, but against local forces and the small units which other European powers (regardless of their battlefleet strength) could afford to send, they would have been useful. Equally, it's worth noting that were there are relatively few major technological changes, designs stay current for many decades, provided they have at least some room for expansion. Look at the changing armament of HMS Warrior (of 1860) or the massive changes made to the American Essex class carriers over their lifetimes. [/QB][/QUOTE]
