HMS Raleigh was a {{sclass/core|Hawkins|cruiser|0|||format=sclass-}} heavy cruiser of the Royal Navy. She was commissioned as part of the British North Atlantic squadron in 1921. Within in a year of commissioning the ship was paid off after having run aground off Labrador. The vessel was eventually destroyed with explosives in 1926. DesignShe had a full load displacement of {{convert|12000|LT|t|abbr=on}} (light, {{convert|9700|LT|t|abbr=on}}), an overall length of {{convert|605|ft|m|abbr=on}}, and carried a complement of 700 officers and men. She was the only ship of the Hawkins-class to be completed with {{convert|70000|shp|kW|lk=in|abbr=on}} machinery; on trials off Isle of Arran from 7–9 September 1920, she reached her designed speed of {{convert|31|kn|mph km/h|lk=in|abbr=on}} at full power of {{convert|71350|shp|kW|abbr=on}}. At half power, {{convert|35000|shp|kW|abbr=on}}, she still managed to make {{convert|28|kn|mph km/h|abbr=on}}.[2] After trials the ship proceeded to Devonport for completion as a flagship. Service historyIn April 1922, Sir William Christopher Pakenham was Admiral of the Royal Navy's North America and West Indies Station and he designated Raleigh as his flagship. Sir Arthur Bromley was the captain of Raleigh and it was through his negligence that the ship was lost.[3] On 8 August 1922, Captain Bromley sped the flagship through thick fog and ran her aground at L'Anse Amour, Newfoundland. Eleven sailors were drowned in the shipwreck. The ship remained hard aground and upright for four years. During this period, she was paid off and stripped of all salvageable items and was then destroyed with explosives by HMS Durban in September 1926.[4] The residents of L'Anse Amour conduct an annual re-enactment of the event on the anniversary of the disaster.[5] Notes1. ^1 2 3 4 Whitley 1995 p.77 2. ^Raven and Roberts, British Cruisers of World War Two (London: Arms & Armour Press, 1980), p. 60, note the 31 knot full speed but state that the other details of the trials are not known.
