| Name | Builder | Laid Down | Launched | Commissioned | Fate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Blake | Chatham Royal Dockyard | July, 1888 | 23 November, 1889 | 2 February, 1892 | Sold 9 June, 1922 |

Armament
Torpedoes
In 1896, Blenheim had a torpedo hang up on firing from a submerged tube. It eventually was fired from the bar, but broke up and sank. The issue was determined to be soft metal used in the construction of "stops", and harder metal was to replace these fittings.[1]
Dreyer Table
These ships had no fire control tables.[2]
