King George V-Class Battleship

The Second World War King George V class was developed under the pressures of naval treaties and renewed international tension. Its 14-inch main guns, substantial protection, and modern machinery equipped a new British battleship generation. Ships fought in major actions, including the pursuit of Bismarck and later operations against Japan. An earlier First World War class shared the name but used different guns, silhouettes, and equipment. Their main battery used 14-inch guns, reflecting treaty planning before larger calibers again became common. King George V and Rodney helped destroy Bismarck, while Prince of Wales was lost off Malaya. Individual careers varied within the shared class design and its wartime modifications.
