HMS Queen Elizabeth (1913) HMS "Queen Elizabeth" was the lead ship of her class of dreadnought battleships built for the Royal Navy in the early 1910s, and was often used as a flagship. She served in World War I as part of the Grand Fleet, and participated in the inconclusive Action of 19 August. Her service during the war generally consisted of routine patrols and training in the North Sea. She and the other super-dreadnought battleships were the first of their type to be powered by oil instead of coal. "Queen Elizabeth" later served in several theatres during World War II, and was ultimately scrapped in 1948.
