In this vast harbour, and upon the open roadstead of Tenedos, Admiral Carden had gathered a large fleet by the middle of February. Ships were collected from various parts of the world (the _Triumph_ had lately come from China);[60] but Gibraltar, Malta, and Egypt supplied most of them. At Lord Fisher’s own suggestion the super-Dreadnought _Queen Elizabeth_ had been added to the pre-Dreadnought ships upon which Mr. Churchill had originally depended. The _Inflexible_ was also a “Dreadnought” battle-cruiser (she had shared in the Falkland Islands battle of December 8, 1914), and the sister ships _Agamemnon_ and _Lord Nelson_, which Lord Fisher also added a little later than the rest of the fleet, were generally regarded as fit to fight in line with “Dreadnoughts.” The French Admiralty, at our request, also supplied a few ships, though of old types, which have an overhampered and top-heavy appearance. The most important units in the fleet as concentrated at that time may be tabulated thus: BRITISH. +------------------+----------+--------+--------------------------+ | |Completed.| Tons. | Guns. | +------------------+----------+--------+--------------------------+ |_Queen Elizabeth_ | 1915 | 27,500 | 8 15-in. | 12 6-in. | |_Inflexible_ | 1908 | 17,250 | 8 12-in. | 16 4-in. | |_Agamemnon_ | 1908 | 16,500 | 4 12-in. | 10 9·2-in. | |_Lord Nelson_ | 1908 | 16,500 | 4 12-in. | 10 9·2-in. | |_Irresistible_ | 1901 | 15,000 | 4 12-in. | 12 6-in. | |_Majestic_ | 1895 | 14,900 | 4 12-in. | 12 6-in. | |_Prince George_ | 1896 | 14,900 | 4 12-in. | 12 6-in. | |_Cornwallis_ | 1904 | 14,900 | 4 12-in. | 12 6-in. | |_Vengeance_ | 1901 | 12,950 | 4 12-in. | 12 6-in. | |_Albion_ | 1902 | 12,950 | 4 12-in. | 12 6-in. | |_Ocean_ | 1900 | 12,950 | 4 12-in. | 12 6-in. | |_Canopus_ | 1899 | 12,950 | 4 12-in. | 12 6-in. | |_Triumph_ | 1904 | 11,800 | 4 10-in. | 14 7·5-in. | |_Swiftsure_ | 1904 | 11,800 | 4 10-in. | 14 7·5-in. | | | | FRENCH. | | | |_Suffren_ | 1903 | 12,520 | 4 12-in. | 10 6·4-in. | |_Bouvet_ | 1898 | 12,007 | 2 12-in. | {2 10·8-in. | | | | | | {8 5·5-in. | |_Gaulois_ | 1899 | 11,080 | 4 12-in. | 10 5·5-in. | |_Charlemagne_ | 1898 | 11,000 | 4 12-in. | 10 5·5-in.[61]| +-----------------------------------------------------------------+
