QUEEN ELIZABETH-Class
battleship ordered from HM Dockyard Portsmouth in June 1912 and laid down
on 21st October that year.
The ship was launched on 16th October 1913 as the first RN warship to carry this
name. Her Badge reflects the particular association
with the Royal Family.
Build was completed on 22 December 1914 and she was deployed in the
Mediterranean. Her distinctive service during WW1 included participation in the
Dardanelles campaign
and the surrender of the German High Seas Fleet in 1918 when the terms of
surrender were given to Admiral Von Reuter on board. In 1937 she was selected
for an extended modernization
which began in August that year and was not completed
until 1939. Her WW2 service was particularly well known as
she was seriously damaged
at Alexandria after explosive charges had been placed on her hull in an attack
by two man human torpedoes in December 1941.
She then had an extensive period under repair and refit in a US Navy Dockyard
Norfolk, VA before
resuming Fleet service in the East Indies Fleet.
She took part in many offensive operations against
the Japanese bases in the Indian Ocean and in support of landing operations in
Burma before return to UK before VJ Day.
