Q1585221
HMS Highflyer was the lead ship of the Highflyer-class protected cruisers built for the Royal Navy in the 1890s. It spent its early career as flagship for the East Indies and North America and West Indies Stations. It was reduced to reserve in 1908 before again becoming the flagship in the East Indies in 1911. It returned home two years later and became a training ship. When World War I began in August 1914, it was assigned to the 9th Cruiser Squadron in the Central Atlantic to intercept German commerce raiders and protect Allied shipping.
