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/

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.
