HMS Captain was a warship built for the Royal Navy as a semi-private venture, following a dispute between the designer and the Admiralty. With wrought-iron armour, steam propulsion, and the main battery mounted in rotating armoured turrets, the ship was, at first appearance, quite innovative and formidable. However, poor design and design changes resulted in a vessel that was overweight, unstable, and had poor seakeeping qualities. The Captain capsized in heavy seas, only five months after being commissioned, with the loss of nearly 500 lives.

  • El HMS Captain fue un buque de guerra de la Royal Navy de mediados del siglo XIX. Era un buque torreta con aparejo de velas. Destacó por ser uno de los primeros buques de guerra de alto bordo en utilizar torretas blindadas para proteger su artillería pesada. Debido a errores en su diseño y construcción el Captain volcó y naufragó en una borrasca en el cabo Finisterre el 7 de septiembre de 1870. En esta catástrofe perdieron la vida 482 tripulantes además de su diseñador, el capitán británico Cowper Phipps Coles. (es)

  • L'HMS Captain è stata una nave da guerra della marina britannica, la Royal Navy, varata nel 1869, da non confondersi con navi omonime che, nei secoli precedenti, sono state in servizio nella stessa. Mentre per le navi costiere lo scarso rendimento dei motori a vapore dell'epoca non costituiva un ostacolo, per la Royal Navy esisteva anche la necessità di vascelli oceanici che si dovevano quindi per necessità affidare alla propulsione a vela. La nave venne costruita sotto le pressioni dell'opinione pubblica e contro il parere dell'Ammiragliato; varata ed accettata in servizio nonostante i difetti che comportavano una instabilità ed un basso bordo libero, affondò durante una burrasca al largo di Cabo Fisterra.

  • De HMS Captain was een revolutionair schip dat was uitgerust met masten en een geschutskoepel. Het werd ontworpen voor de Royal Navy en tewatergelaten in 1869. Het jaar daarop kapseisde het schip door een laag vrijboord en gebrekkige stabiliteit, waarbij bijna 500 man omkwamen. (nl)
  • Le HMS Captain, lancé en 1869 et qui chavira et fit naufrage en septembre 1870 dans le golfe de Gascogne, avec la perte de près de 500 vies humaines était un navire de guerre expérimental de la Royal Navy dont la conception, la construction, les essais et la perte furent l'objet de polémiques passionnées à l'époque, en particulier par voie de presse. Son naufrage, dans un coup de vent violent mais nullement exceptionnel révéla un grave problème de stabilité latérale dû à des erreurs de conception et à des fautes dans le respect des devis de poids à la construction.

  • HMS Captain (1869) (по-русски Кэптен, Кептен) — броненосец британского флота. На момент ввода в строй в 1870 году был одним из наиболее мощных кораблей этого класса в мире (а возможно, и самым мощным). Корабль был спроектирован и построен под руководством известного кораблестроителя Купера Фипса Кольза в значительной степени под влиянием взглядов английской общественности на развитие военно-морских сил.
