POWERFUL, built 35 years ago as a fast armoured cruiser and now sold out of the Navy. She has been bought by a shipbreaking firm. When on the way home from her first commission in China she landed a naval brigade and 14 guns to assist in the relief of Ladysmith. After being the flagship of the Australian station for six years she was fitted out as a training ship at Devon- port. She was so used until the end of last year, when the establishment was closed down.
