His revolutionary turret design got the ball rolling for the British Navy to begin looking at ways to adopt it. Several early naval vessels, such as Prince Albert and Royal Sovereign, were constructed or modified and incorporated Coles designs. He pressed, however, for the British Admiralty to allow him to build a low-freeboard turret warship and in 1866 the British Navy finally agreed. 1866 (MDCCCLXVI) is a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar or a common year starting on Wednesday of the 12-day-slower Julian calendar. ...

Coles became the lead designer for HMS Captain. The ship used most of Coles design. However, extensive rigging was necessary to make the ship ocean-going. This forced the creation of a "hurricane deck" above the turrets, which raised the center of gravity of the vessel. That was one of the key reasons why Captain capsized on the night of September 6, 1870, which took Coles' life. HMS Captain was a revolutionary masted turret ship of the Royal Navy launched in 1869, and capsized the following year with tremendous loss of life. ...
