An Entity of Type: Light cruiser, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Courageous class consisted of three battlecruisers known as "large light cruisers" built for the Royal Navy during the First World War. The class was nominally designed to support the Baltic Project, a plan by Admiral of the Fleet Lord Fisher that was intended to land troops on the German Baltic Coast. Ships of this class were fast but very lightly armoured, with only a few heavy guns. They were given a shallow draught, in part to allow them to operate in the shallow waters of the Baltic but also reflecting experience gained earlier in the war. To maximize their speed, the Courageous-class battlecruisers were the first capital ships of the Royal Navy to use geared steam turbines and small-tube boilers.

  • The Courageous class consisted of three battlecruisers known as "large light cruisers" built for the Royal Navy during the First World War. The class was nominally designed to support the Baltic Project, a plan by Admiral of the Fleet Lord Fisher that was intended to land troops on the German Baltic Coast. Ships of this class were fast but very lightly armoured, with only a few heavy guns. They were given a shallow draught, in part to allow them to operate in the shallow waters of the Baltic but also reflecting experience gained earlier in the war. To maximize their speed, the Courageous-class battlecruisers were the first capital ships of the Royal Navy to use geared steam turbines and small-tube boilers. The first two ships, Courageous and Glorious, were commissioned in 1917 and spent the war patrolling the North Sea. They participated in the Second Battle of Heligoland Bight in November 1917 and were present when the High Seas Fleet surrendered a year later. Their half-sister Furious was designed with a pair of 18-inch (457 mm) guns, the largest guns ever fitted on a ship of the Royal Navy, but was modified during construction to take a flying-off deck and hangar in lieu of her forward turret and barbette. After some patrols in the North Sea, her rear turret was removed and another flight deck added. Her aircraft attacked the Zeppelin sheds during the Tondern raid in July 1918. All three ships were laid up after the war, but were rebuilt into the Courageous-class aircraft carrier during the 1920s. Glorious and Courageous were sunk early in the Second World War and Furious was sold for scrap in 1948. (en)

  • A Classe Courageous foi uma classe de cruzadores de batalha operada pela Marinha Real Britânica, composta pelo HMS Courageous, HMS Glorious e HMS Furious. Suas construções começaram em 1915 nos estaleiros da Armstrong Whitworth e Harland and Wolff, sendo lançados ao mar em 1916 e comissionados entre 1916 e 1917. Eles foram projetados como parte do Projeto Báltico, um plano para invadir o litoral báltico alemão na Primeira Guerra Mundial. As embarcações foram pensadas para terem um calado raso o bastante para permitir sua operação no Mar Báltico, sendo originalmente designadas como cruzadores rápidos para contornar proibições de construção de navios capitais. O Courageous e o Glorious eram armados com uma bateria principal composta por quatro canhões de 381 milímetros, porém o Furious seria armado com dois canhões de 457 milímetros. Tinham um comprimento de fora a fora de 239 metros, boca de 24 até 26 metros, calado de quase oito metros e um deslocamento carregado de mais de 22 mil toneladas. Seus sistemas de propulsão eram compostos por dezoito caldeiras a óleo combustível que alimentavam quatro turbinas a vapor, que por sua vez giravam quatro hélices até uma velocidade máxima de 32 nós (59 quilômetros por hora). Os navios também tinham um cinturão de blindagem entre 51 a 76 milímetros de espessura. Os dois primeiros navios patrulharam o Mar do Norte, participaram da Segunda Batalha da Angra da Heligolândia em novembro de 1917 e estiveram presentes na rendição da Frota de Alto-Mar em novembro de 1918. O Furious foi modificado durante sua construção, recebendo um canhão na popa e tendo sua proa reconstruída para acomodar um hangar e uma plataforma de lançamento de aeronaves no lugar da torre de artilharia dianteira. A arma traseira foi removida pouco depois e outro convés de voo adicionado, com suas aeronaves atacando zepelins alemães em julho de 1918. Os três foram tirados de serviço em 1919 e convertidos em porta-aviões da Classe Courageous. (pt)
