HMS Queen Elizabeth was a British battleship laid down in 1912, launched in October 1913, and commissioned in the British Royal Navy in 1915. The total length of the ship was 195.3 meters, width 27.5 meters, and a full displacement of 33,000 tons. The maximum speed of battleship Queen Elizabeth was around 25-26 knots. The main armament at the time of the launch was eight 381 mm guns in four twin turrets. The secondary armament consists of 12 152mm guns, 2 76mm guns, 3 47mm pom-poms, and 4 533mm torpedo tubes.

HMS Queen Elizabeth was the first of five battleships of the same type - Queen Elizabeth. Battleships of this type were built just before the outbreak of World War I, as a British response to the rapid naval armament of the Second German Reich. They are often referred to as super-dreadnoughts - for the first time in the history of the navy, 381 mm artillery with 42-caliber barrels was used on them, and for the first time battleships reached a speed of about 25 knots. Many of the solutions used on this type were reflected in later British battleships. All ships of the Queen Elizabeth class also underwent significant modifications in the interwar period: first of all, they received new engine rooms, better and more efficient boilers, their armor was thickened, the profile of superstructures was changed and the anti-aircraft artillery was significantly expanded. Thanks to these upgrades, these ships were not inferior to other German or Italian battleships, as well as many Japanese battleships - with the exception of the Yamato class. HMS Queen Elizabeth battleship was built at the Portsmouth Shipyard. In 1915, it was the flagship of the British naval forces under the Dardanelles' operation and the Gallipolli landing. After intensive participation in this operation, she was forwarded to Great Britain and entered the Grand Fleet, but unlike other Queen Elizabeth ships, she did not take part in the Battle of Jutland (1916). In the interwar period, HMS Queen Elizabeth served in the Atlantic, and from 1924 - in the Mediterranean. At the outbreak of World War II, it was part of the British Mediterranean Fleet. It was severely damaged as a result of an attack by Italian divers on December 19, 1941 in the port of Alexandria. The renovation - first in Egypt and then in New York in the USA - lasted until June 1, 1943. After returning to service, he was directed - in 1944 - to the Far East, against the Japanese fleet. The battleship HMS Queen Elizabeth survived the war, and in 1948 was sold for scrap
