| Description |
English: Contemporary builder’s model of the Orion Class super-dreadnought battleship HMS Monarch at the Science Museum, South Kensington, 15 November 2008.
The Orion Class battleships, designed by Philip Watts, were the first to be armed with 13.5” guns (instead of the 11” or 12” of previous dreadnoughts) and the first British dreadnoughts that could fire full broadsides of their main armament. As such they were described as super-dreadnoughts being so much more powerful than previous dreadnoughts. Four Orions were completed in 1912. They had 25,000 shp coal-fired turbines engines, had a maximum speed of 21 kts (though some ships reached 22 kts on trials), measured 584 ft x 88 ft x 31 ft and had a displacement of 22,500 tons. They were armed with 10x13.5” (5x2), 16x4” (16x1), 3x21”TT (fixed singles). All fought in the Battle of Jutland 1916. HMS Monarch was built by Armstrong Whitworth, launched at their Elswick yard in 1911 and completed in 1912. She was sunk as a target in 1925. Her sisters were scrapped until 1922-26. |
