The twenty one Second-Class Cruisers of the Apollo Class were quite old during World War I.
Armament
Main Battery
Secondary Battery
Other Guns
Torpedoes
Æolus in 1895 fired a Mark VIII R.L. torpedo from her stern A.W. torpedo tube while steaming 17.5 knots. The torpedo was lost because the tube was submerged at time of firing and this was found to collapse the torpedoes' buoyancy chamber with some regularity. Astrea had also lost a torpedo. It was found that these ships would generally have this issue at speeds above 12 knots. Fox, Iphigenia and Intrepid. It was considered that ships not yet complete should have their designs altered, but tests in Eclipse showed better firing from the tube while submerged.[1]
