one of the fastest pre-dreadnoughts. Russell was steaming off Malta early on the morning of 27 April 1916 when she struck two sea mines that had been laid by the German submarine U-73. A fire broke out in the after part of the ship and the order to abandon ship was passed; after an explosion near the after 12-inch (305-mm) turret, she took on a dangerous list. However, she sank slowly, allowing most of her crew to escape. A total of 27 officers and 98 ratings were lost. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Russell_(1901)

Thanks! We'll adjust the date on the catalog record when we update.

ah the lead class of the "wobbly eight". She fulfilled her design requirements but ship design advanced very rapidly and within a few years she was obsolete with the advent of Dreadnought. She was lost to a mine in 1916, with only one man lost, falling between her and the rescue ship. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_King_Edward_VII
