The two protected cruisers of the Blake Class were completed between 1892 and 1894.
| Name | Builder | Laid Down | Launched | Commissioned | Fate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Blake | Chatham Royal Dockyard | July, 1888 | 23 November, 1889 | 2 February, 1892 | Sold 9 June, 1922 |
| Blenheim | Thames Iron Works | October, 1888 | 5 July, 1890 | 26 May, 1894 | Sold 13 July, 1926 |
Armament
Torpedoes
In 1896, Blenheim had a torpedo hang up on firing from a submerged tube. It eventually was fired from the bar, but broke up and sank. The issue was determined to be soft metal used in the construction of "stops", and harder metal was to replace these fittings.[1]
Dreyer Table
These ships had no fire control tables.[2]
