Vanguard Heavy Battleship

HMS Vanguard was Britain’s last battleship, completed after the Second World War. The design used 15-inch gun mountings available from earlier naval decisions while incorporating a modern hull and defensive arrangements. She did not fight a Second World War campaign, despite work on her construction during that conflict. Her later duties included royal and fleet service before withdrawal. Her main gun mountings reused material originally associated with earlier battlecruisers, combined with a modern hull and improved defensive arrangements. Vanguard never fought in battle. She undertook royal and training duties before entering reserve, becoming the final expression of Britain’s long battleship-building tradition.
