7th Cruiser Squadron, Royal Navy squadron in Suffolk, England.
The 7th Cruiser Squadron contained five Cressy-class armored cruisers stationed along the south coast of England for maritime defense operations.
In September 1914, the squadron suffered a major loss when German submarine U-9 sank three cruisers: Aboukir, Cressy, and Hogue, resulting in 1,460 casualties.
The squadron developed specific naval protocols and methods that influenced future Royal Navy operations and training procedures throughout the twentieth century.
The squadron operated at coordinates 51.639° N and 0.67489° E, conducting regular patrols between Britain and France to protect supply ships.
The unit received the designation Cruiser Force C and gained recognition as the live bait squadron due to its dangerous assignments with aging vessels.
