Pendant Number: P.16 (1914)[1]
Builder: Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company, Govan[2]
Ordered: 1898-99 Programme[3]
Laid down: 11 Sep, 1899[4]

Service

As part of the Channel Fleet, Good Hope started a refit in Portsmouth in 1 September 1908.[8]

On 3 february, 1912, Good Hope was struck by lightning on her foremost lightning conductor while in Arosa Bay. A 20-ft spark carried it to her wireless aerial and from there through a grounding clip. The entire office glowed and shook. Two telegraphists escaped shock, but were unable to see clearly for 20 minutes due to the intense glare they'd witnessed. In all, the damage to equipment appeared slight.[9]

She recommissioned at Portsmouth on 24 December, 1912,[10] and was based at Portsmouth where she served as a parent ship for other Third Fleet ships.[11]

Good Hope was part of the Sixth Cruiser Squadron, nominally in the Second Fleet but part of the Third Fleet for administrative purposes.[12]

Before the outbreak of war she was ordered by the Commander-in-Chief, Portsmouth, to proceed from Portsmouth to Scapa viâ the West Coast of Ireland.[13] On 5 August she was ordered to steam to Halifax, Canada, to join the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Christopher G. F. M. Cradock, commanding the Fourth Cruiser Squadron.[14] Good Hope arrived at Halifax on 14 August, and on 15 August met Suffolk at sea. Captain Bentinck J. D. Yelverton transferred to Suffolk, and Cradock, his staff, and his Flag Captain, Captain Philip Francklin, transferred to Good Hope, which then sailed for Bermuda.[15]

Radio

In 1908, the ship was one of just nine equipped with the "C" Tune Gear, capable of transmitting (only?) on "S", "U" and "W" tunes. It was to receive a Service Mark II set in 1909.[16]

On 3 February 1912, Good Hope was struck by lightning while in Arosa Bay. A 20 foot arc carried the bolt to the wireless aerial, and a 30 foot one to the mainmast lightning conductor. The W/T office was brightly illuminated and shook severely. The two telegraphists within were not shocked electrically, but were dazzled by the flash for 20 minutes. Minor damage from scorching resulted in electrical elements, but no impaired function was mentioned.[17]
