H.M.S. Warrior was one of two Warrior Class armoured frigates completed for the Royal Navy.
There was also a armoured cruiser Warrior launched in 1905.
Service
Amazingly, Warrior was placed into dockyard hands at Portsmouth on 30 April, 1894, despite being then the oldest ironclad in the Navy, to be modernized with new 30-pound pressure box boilers, which were in store, for further service.[1]
She was commissioned at Portsmouth as a depot ship for torpedo boats and T.B.Ds. on 16 July, 1902.[2] This stint of service did not last long, as she again in the hands of a Chief Engineer in 1904.
