HMS Iron Duke

The HMS Iron Duke was a Dreadnaught Battleship, the Lead of the Iron Duke Class, Commissioned into the Home fleet in March 1914 just Before World War One. She was the Flagship of the Royal Navy During the War. Fighting most Famously at Jutland. After the War Iron Duke was Stationed in the Mediterranean Where She fought During the Russian Civil war and Greco-Turkish War.

in 1930, the London Naval Treaty specified that the four Iron Duke-class battleships be scrapped or otherwise demilitarised. Iron Duke was therefore converted into a gunnery training ship. her armour and much of her armament was removed to render her unfit for combat. She served in this capacity until the outbreak of the Second World War, when she was moored in Scapa Flow as a harbour defence ship. In October 1939, she was badly damaged by German bombers and was run aground to avoid sinking. She continued to serve as an anti-aircraft platform for the duration of the war, and was eventually refloated and broken up for scrap in 1946.
