Everything about Hms Revenge 1892 totally explained
HMS Revenge was a
pre-dreadnought battleship of the
Royal Sovereign class of the British
Royal Navy.
In 1906, the
Royal Sovereigns, like every other battleship in the world, were made obsolete with the launch of the revolutionary
HMS Dreadnought, the first all-big-gun battleship. Only
Revenge and her sister ship
HMS Hood survived to see the outbreak of
World War I.
HMS
Revenge was flagship during the blockade of Crete in 1898. Laid up awaiting disposal at the outbreak of the War, she was refitted as a bombardment ship, and her guns relined to 12in. Based at
Dover,
Revenge bombarded the Belgian coast between
1914 and
1915.
In August
1915, she was renamed HMS
Redoubtable to free her name for the
Revenge class battleship HMS Revenge. From
October 1915, she was laid up at
Portsmouth, until sold to Messrs Ward and scrapped in
1919.
