EYES OF THE FLEET

 
 
CRUISERS
by
Anthony Preston
1938-2004 
 

 

The cruiser has fought in many famous naval battles, yet few know their true function as a warship.

The word "cruising" was used in the eighteenth and early nineteenth century to describe independent operations by a single ship, unattached to any squadron.  "Cruizer" were usually frigates, sometimes smaller sloops and brigs.

The essential meaning of the word was a description of function, not a classification of a ship-type.

The cruiser's main task was to catch commerce raiding warships and to prey on enemy shipping.
