British Battleship HMS Thunderer

HMS Thunderer

Laid down on 13 April 1910 and launched on 1 February 1911, HMS Thunderer was the fourth of the Orion-Class battleships built for the British Royal Navy. Commissioned on 15 June 1912, HMS Thunderer spent most of her career with the Home and Grand Fleets. During World War One, she participated in the Battle of Jutland, where she fired only 37 13.5 inch shells, with no conclusive hits.

After the end of the First World War, Thunderer was reduced to a training ship, until paid off in 1926 and scrapped.
