Monarch, British Deep Sea Cable Ship, First with Electric Gear

The Monarch is described as Britain's first cable ship to use electrically driven cable gear. At 475 feet length and 58 feet 6 inches breadth, she carries 5 000 tons of cable, with two forward and one aft brake assemblies to control payout. The vessel features four large tanks housing submarine cable reels and a central cone to prevent kinks, plus multiple pulleys and guides to gauge tension fathoms below the surface. The Monarch aims to lay transatlantic or continental cables and supports stable operation with loading for long voyages. She is the fourth vessel named Monarch, dating back to wood-hulled predecessors and earlier losses in wartime service.
