H.M.S. Immortalité (1887)
Builder: Chatham Royal Dockyard [1]
Laid down: 18 Jan, 1886[2]
Launched: 7 Jul, 1887[3]
Commissioned: Jul, 1889[4]
Sold: 1 Jan, 1907[5]

H.M.S. Immortalité was one of 7 armoured cruisers of the Orlando class.

Service

She was commissioned at Chatham on 1 July, 1890.[6] Later that month, she participated in the Annual Manoeuvres of 1890 under the command of either Arthur D. Fanshawe or William Wiseman (their Service Records contradict a newspaper account) as part of the Hostile Fleet tasked with threatening British trade routes. Aurora was the other ship in this command ambiguity.[7]

Immortalité was the second British warship to arrive at Manila (the first was the gunboat Linnet) after the American victory at the Battle of Manila Bay on 1 May, 1898. She arrived on 7 May and Commodore George Dewey was "especially greatful for the understanding attitude" of her commanding officer, Captain Edward Chichester, during the coming weeks.[8]

In 1902, she was in Sheerness, serving as a gunnery training ship, tender to Wildfire.[9]

On 7 April, 1904, while under the command of Archibald Peile Stoddart, she collided with the floating workshop Temeraire off the Tyne while attempting to take the latter under tow. Both returned to harbour in a damaged condition.[10]
