Admiral Fisher's "Unapproachable" armored cruiser
In 1904, Admiral Fisher and Mr. Gard had a sketch design for a fast armored cruiser. This was originally not a uniform armament ship, but had 4-9.2in and 12-7.5in guns. The anti-torpedo boat armament would probably have been 16-4in QF guns. The speed originally would have been 24 knots. John Roberts has the specification for a later version of this ship with 16-9.2in with a speed of 25.5 knots. This is my photo of the earlier version of the ship, as I believe that they would have ended up with tripd masts.
