The launching of the Russian armoured cruiser Rurik in 1890 presented a new threat to British global trade.  In response, Sir William White designed two ‘Powerful’ class cruisers. Often derided as white elephants, this talk illustrates that they were actually formidable vessels based on sound strategic thinking and design practice.
