The HMS Drake was a four funnelled armoured cruiser of 14.100 tons. Built at Pembroke dockyard in 1902, she had spent the war years on the Atlantic Ocean protecting convoys. She was torpedoed while protecting a west bound convoy by u-boat U79. She rolled over and sank close to Church Bay in waters of 16m deep.
