HMHS Britannic

Causes of sinking The ship's explosion was initially blamed on a German torpedo, but later a German mine was considered the likely culprit.


Question: When was HMHS Britannic commissioned?

HMHS Britannic

It was later learned that a German submarine had mined the Channel used by Britannic a few weeks earlier.


Question: When was HMHS Britannic commissioned?

HMHS Britannic

The mine did not cause very great destruction at the bottom, and the ship should have stayed afloat, but the watertight doors of the bulkheads in the boiler room had been left open.


Question: When was HMHS Britannic commissioned?

HMHS Britannic

Unable to withstand the mass of water that flooded the giant engine room, the ship sank.


Question: When was HMHS Britannic commissioned?

Ventilation hatches had also been left open due to the heat that prevailed at the site.


Question: When was HMHS Britannic commissioned?

HMHS Britannic

The mine explosion occurred at a fateful time during a change of watch in the morning, when the crew had to be able to move through watertight doors on the bulkheads.


Question: When was HMHS Britannic commissioned?

HMHS Britannic

In addition, the rivets used in the construction of the ship were more fragile than the ship's hull; they therefore rusted faster and made the hull weaker than planned.

Minas Geraes

[1] The design of the battleships took influences from the Norwegian Navy's coastal armour ship KNM Norge and the British Royal Navy's HMS Triumph.


Question: When was Mineas Geraes lowered into the waters?

Minas Geraes

The Dreadnought warship type rendered all earlier battleships obsolete.

Minas Geraes

Because of this, battleships ordered by Brazil were returned to the design table as well, although some parts already in place, such as armour, continued to be utilised for cost reasons.


Question: When was Mineas Geraes lowered into the waters?

Minas Geraes

Based on the new plans, another agreement was created in February 1907.

Due to changes in the plans, the ships would cost much more than those previously under construction, so the manufacture of only two could begin immediately.
