HMS Warspite was one of five Queen Elizabeth-class battleships. Battleships of this type were built just before the outbreak of World War I, as a British response to the rapid naval armament of the Second German Reich. They are often referred to as super-dreadnoughts - for the first time in the history of the navy, 381 mm artillery with 42-caliber barrels was used on them, and for the first time battleships reached a speed of about 25 knots. Many of the solutions used on this type were reflected in later British battleships. All ships of the Queen Elizabeth class also underwent significant modifications in the interwar period: first of all, they received new engine rooms, better and more efficient boilers, their armor was thickened, the profile of superstructures was changed and the anti-aircraft artillery was significantly expanded. Thanks to these upgrades, these ships were not inferior to other German or Italian battleships, as well as many Japanese battleships - with the exception of the Yamato class. The HMS Warspite battleship was built at the Dockyard shipyard in Devonport. From the moment he entered service, he was part of the Grand Fleet and, as part of it, took part in the Battle of Jutland in 1916, in which he did not suffer any serious damage. For the rest of World War I, he did not enter into any serious combat contact with German ships. However, he took part in the internment of German units in Scapa Flow.
