Hawke was laid down at Chatham Dockyard on 17 June 1889, one of nine Edgar-class cruisers ordered for the Royal Navy under the Naval Defence Act 1889, and launched on 11 March 1891. Sea trials in March 1892 were satisfactory, with her engines reaching the required power, and the ship was completed on 16 May 1893.
On commissioning, Hawke joined the Mediterranean Fleet, remaining on that station for most of the rest of the decade.
In early 1897, Hawke deployed to Crete to serve in the International Squadron, a multinational force made up of ships of the Austro-Hungarian Navy, French Navy, Imperial German Navy, Italian Royal Navy, Imperial Russian Navy, and Royal Navy that intervened in the 1897-1898 Greek uprising on Crete against rule by the Ottoman Empire.
In August 1901 Hawke was paid off at Chatham and placed in the Fleet Reserve.
In February 1902 she received orders to prepare to convey relief crews to the Cape of Good Hope Station and arrived at Simon's Town on 10 May. Hawke paid off into the A division of the Fleet Reserve at Chatham on 4 October 1902. In November 1904, Hawke became Boy's Training Ship as part of the 4th Cruiser Squadron, serving in that role until August 1906, when she
joined the torpedo school at Sheerness. In 1907, Hawke joined the Home Fleet.

On 20 September 1911, Hawke, under command of Commander W.F. Blunt, collided in the Solent with the RMS Olympic. In the course of the collision, Hawke lost her bow. (This was replaced by a straight bow). The subsequent trial pronounced Hawke to be free from any blame. During the trial, a theory was advanced that the large amount of water displaced by Olympic had generated a suction that had drawn Hawke off course. The White Star Line lost on appeal.

In February 1913, Hawke joined the training squadron based at Queenstown, Ireland, where she served along with most of the rest of the Edgar class. In August 1914, on the outbreak of the First World War, Hawke, together with the other Edgars from Queenstown, formed the 10th Cruiser Squadron, operating on blockade duties between the Shetland Islands and Norway.

In October 1914, the 10th Cruiser Squadron was deployed further south in the North Sea as part of efforts to stop German warships from attacking a troop convoy from Canada. On 15 October, the squadron was on patrol off Aberdeen, deployed in line abreast at intervals of about 10 miles. Hawke stopped at 9:30 am to pick up mail from sister ship Endymion. After recovering her boat with the mail, Hawke proceeded at 13 knots (24 km/h; 15 mph) without zig-zagging to regain
her station, and was out of sight of the rest of the Squadron when at 10:30 a single torpedo from the German submarine U-9 , struck Hawke, which quickly capsized. The remainder of the squadron only realised anything was amiss, when, after a further, unsuccessful attack on Theseus, the squadron was ordered to retreat at high speed to the northwest, and no response to the order was received from Hawke. The destroyer Swift was dispatched from Scapa Flow to search for Hawke and found a raft carrying one officer and twenty-one men, while a boat with a further forty-nine survivors was rescued by a Norwegian steamer. 524 officers and men died, including the ship's captain, Hugh P. E. T. Williams, with only 70 survivors (one man died of his wounds on 16 October).

This is a 1:1,9 version of the HMS Hawke. All Decks are fully filled & equipped.
I had no deck plans, so i built the iterior's based on the deck plans of USS Columbia and some Planes of HMS Blenheim.
The Engines are based in Imges i found in The Ship Builder. I also used knowledge from my Career in the German Navy.
