Excerpt from The British Battle Fleet, Vol. 2: Its Inception and Growth Throughout the Centuries to the Present Day
The bed rock Reed idea was to produce a Ship which could attack and destroy the enemy without much risk Of being damaged in doing so. The Barnaby idea was that the best defensive is a strong Offensive and a strict subordination of defence to what might best serve the attack on the same displacement.

Excerpt from The British Battle Fleet, Vol. 2: Its Inception and Growth Throughout the Centuries to the Present Day
The characteristic motif of the Barnaby designs has been described as a "maximum of offensive power and the minimum of defence." This is not altogether correct; though as a generahzatiou it is no very great exaggeration. In every Barnaby design proper, offence was the first thing sought for, but defence as then understood was by no means overlooked as to-day it appears to have been.
The bed rock "Reed idea" was to produce a ship which could attack and destroy the enemy without much risk of being damaged in doing so. The "Barnaby idea" was that "the best defensive is a strong offensive"; and a strict subordination of defence to what might best serve the attack on the same displacement.
The first big armoured ship to be laid down at all on Barnaby principles, the Inflexible, was built under somewhat peculiar circumstances. In the year 1871 a Committee was appointed. One of its findings was as follows: -
"As powerful armament, thick armour, speed, and light draught cannot be combined in one ship, although all are needed for the defence of the country; there is no alternative but to give the preponderance to each in its turn amongst different classes of ships which shall mutually supplement one another."
