The first of the Queen Elizabeth-class battleships joins the UK navy.
The first of the new class of British Super Dreadnoughts, the HMS Queen Elizabeth is commisioned into the fleet today. She was a huge ship for her time, displacing 36ktons loaded with a length of 196 meters at the waterline, and armed with the newly debeloped 15-inch BL Mk1 gun. She would eventually form a 5th (Fast) Battleship Squadron with her 5 sisters in time for Jutland.
