HMS Kent was a Monmouth-class armoured cruiser of 9,800 tons displacement, of the British Royal Navy. Launched on 6 March 1901, with her heaviest guns being 6 inch quick-firers. She served on the China Station between 1906 and 1913.
On the outbreak of the First World War she was re-commissioned and sent to the Falkland Islands where she participated in the Battle of the Falkland Islands and sank SMS Nurnberg. During the action her flags were damaged - new ones were presented to her on December 8th 1915 by the County Society of Kent. It is said that in an attempt to catch the Nurnberg to avenge the loss of their sister ship Monmouth, the ship's complement threw everything that could burn into the boilers to help close the range.
From March 1915 she was again on the China Station. On March 21st 1915 she sunk the German cruiser SMS Dresden off the Juan Fernández Islands in the Pacific.
She returned to the United Kingdom in May 1915, and was redesignated to the Cape Station in 1916. In June 1918 she was transferred to English Channel convoy escort duty, but in July 1918 returned to the China Station. She was then sent to Vladivostok in January 1919 to support American and Japanese forces in action against the Bolshevik Red Army.
She was sold for scrap and broken up in June 1920.

HMS Berwick  was a Monmouth-class armoured cruiser of the British Royal Navy. She was launched on September 20, 1902. In 1908 she collided with the destroyer HMS Tiger when the destroyer crossed Berwick's bows during an exercise in the English Channel, south of the Isle of Wight. Tiger  was sliced in two and sank with the loss of 28 lives.

She served in the First World War with most of her sisters, and survived to be sold for scrap on July 1, 1920. Berwick  was eventually towed to Hamburg on August 28, 1920 to be broken up.

She was built by J&G Thompson on Clydebank and launched on May 27, 1895. She served with her sister ship, HMS Powerful on the China Station and provided landing parties which fought in the relief of the Siege of Ladysmith in the Second Boer War. Crews from the two ships also took part in suppressing the Boxer Rebellion in China. After 1904 they were laid up as an economy measure. During World War I, they had most of their armament removed and served a troop transports and later accommodation ships.

After the end of the war, Terrible was renamed Fisgard III in August 1920 and converted to a training ship. After twelve years of this, she was sold on July 1932 for breaking up
