hi,
pic #4 – British cruiser “Newcastle”, at that time a brand new ship, commissioned in September 1910, she belonged to the new “Town” class
pic #8 – British armoured cruiser “Minotaur”, lead ship of its class, the last class of armoured cruisers in the Royal Navy before the introduction of the battle cruiser (“Invincible” class)
Minotaur was armed with two 23,4 cm (9.2″) guns fore and aft and ten 19 cm (7.5″) guns, five on each side and easily recognizable in the picture
