H.M.S. Cornwall was one of ten armoured cruisers of the Monmouth Class completed between 1903 and 1904.
There was also a heavy cruiser Cornwall launched in the 1920s.
Service
In mid-1913, she was a training ship for naval cadets.[9]
In August, 1919, she was one of four cruisers placed under the command of Captain Francis Wade Caulfeild under the oversight of the Rear-Admiral commanding the Devonport Reserve.[10]
In 1934, her bell was offered for sale to naval officers and others who might be interested, at the price of £5. Interested parties were to write the Director of Stores and were urged to include any special information which might convey the importance they attach to the bell, in light of the Admiralty's understanding that such items carry great sentimental value.[11]
