Everything about Naval Defence Act 1889 totally explained
The
Naval Defence Act of 1889 was an
Act of Parliament of the
United Kingdom which established the
Two-Power Standard for the
Royal Navy. It was passed by the government of
Lord Salisbury and facilitated the spending of an extra £20 million on the
Royal Navy over the following four years. This was the biggest ever peacetime expansion of the navy : ten new
battleships, thirty-eight new
cruisers, eighteen new
torpedo boats and four new fast
gunboats. Traditionally (since the
Battle of Trafalgar) Britain had possessed a navy one-third larger than their nearest naval rival but now the Royal Navy was set to the Two-Power Standard; that it would be maintained "to a standard of strength equivalent to that of the combined forces of the next two biggest navies in the world". This was aimed at France and Russia.
