HMS Ramillies was a Royal Sovereign-class battleship of the Royal Navy commissioned into service in 1893.

She became increasingly obsolescent as the all-big-gun concept emerged in the early 1900s. Placed in reserve and eventually paid off, being sold for breaking up in 1913, just as HMS Dreadnought had rendered her entire generation of battleships obsolete. #Navy #battleship #HMSRamillies #maritimehistory #naval #NavalHistory #Predreadnought #RoyalNavy #Ship #warship https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/warships-of-the-british-royal-navy/hms-ramillies-1892-battleship/

HMS Hood was a British Royal Navy pre-dreadnought battleship of the Royal Sovereign class laid down in 1889 at Chatham Dockyard and launched on 30 June 1891.
On 4 November 1914, early in the First World War, when she was deliberately sunk as a blockship in the southern entrance of Portland Harbour to protect the anchorage from submarine attack. https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/warships-of-the-british-royal-navy/hms-hood-1891/ #RoyalNavy #battleship #HMSHood1891 #maritimehistory #naval #NavalHistory #Navy #Predreadnought #Ship #warship
HSwMS Dristigheten was commissioned in 1901 as a coastal defence ship in the Swedish Navy. From 1927 to 1930 she was converted to a seaplane depot ship. Decommissioned in 1947 she was then used as a target ship, finally being sunk in 1960 and scrapped in 1961. https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/swedish-navy-coastal-defence-ship-hswms-dristigheten/ #Navy #coastaldefenceship #Dristigheten #HSwMSDristigheten #KungligaFlottan #maritimehistory #naval #NavalHistory #RoyalSwedishNavy #Ship #Svenskamarinen #SwedishNavy #SwedishRoyalNavy #warship

Fun history fact:
WiFi connectivity on-board the light cruiser HMS Belfast was excellent, allowing the crew to stay in touch with the world and especially their loved ones during the second world war.

This brilliant move of british naval command gave them an edge over the Germans, allowing them to pressure and sink the battleship Scharnhorst for example.
