Building Programme
The following table gives the build details and purchase cost of British large cruisers, including iron steam frigates, ironclad cruising ships, belted cruisers, 1st class protected cruisers, armoured cruisers, dreadnought armoured cruisers, and battlecruisers. Standard British practice at that time was for these costs to exclude armament and stores. (Note that costs quoted by J.W. King were in US dollars.)


 * Machinery meant "propelling machinery".
 * Hull included "hydraulic machinery, gun mountings, etc."

* = estimated cost, including guns ** = including guns *** = cost published by Brassey before the ship was complete. i.e. The total cost may have been more than this.
