Background

About the ship

In 1912, it was planned to build four fast battleships with 381 mm guns. The lead ship, Queen Elizabeth, entered service during World War I and participated in the Gallipoli campaign as the flagship of the Eastern Mediterranean Squadron. In 1918, the treaty of surrender of the German Navy was signed on board her. She served in the Mediterranean and Atlantic Seas during the interwar period. In 1941, she was damaged by Italian saboteurs, underwent repairs in the U.S., and became the flagship of the Eastern Fleet.
