	Model of HMS Devastation, 1871
		Early experiments with mounting heavy guns on armoured turntables led to some small, coastal defence turret ships being built in the 1860s.
		HMS Devastation was the first ocean-going turret battleship without masts or sails.
		HMS Devastation carried four 12-inch (305 mm) guns, two in each turret.

	Portsmouth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Only ten years after this devastation the town for the first time was struck by the plague known as the Black Death.
		In 2005, Portsmouth was a focus for Sea Britain, a series of events to mark the 200th anniversary (bicentenary) of Lord Nelson's victory at the Battle of Trafalgar.
		Among the attractions are the D-Day museum (which holds the Overlord embroidery) and, in the dockyard, HMS Victory, the remains of the Mary Rose raised from the sea-bed in recent years, HMS Warrior and the Royal Naval Museum.

	Ironclad Model for Colonial-era Wargames (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The design of the model was derived from a number of sources, amalgamated into a kind of generalized 19th Century ironclad turretship.
		The overall layout is that of the HMS Devastation (1873), and numerous similar monitor-style warships, but the hull-shape is inspired by the USS Keokuk(1862), CSS Stonewall(1864), the French central-battery ironclad Redoubtable(1876), and turn-of-the-century tin windup toys.
		Contemporary engraving of HMS Glatton, a single-turret monitor-style warship (1872), not too dissimilar from the ironclad model.

		The first warships resembling modern battleships were built in Britain around 1870 with the "Devastation" class of low-freeboard turret ships, a few years after the first battle between ironclad warships (the USS Monitor and CSS Virginia), fought at Hampton Roads, Virginia.
		In the early stages of the Battle of the Atlantic, Germany's large surface units threatened the Atlantic convoys supplying Britain, so the British surface units devoted themselves to protecting the convoys, and seeking out and trying to destroy the German ships, as well lying in wait at Scapa.
		Bismarck was sunk a few days after it destroyed Hood, after being crippled by torpedo bombers from HMS Victorious and HMS Ark Royal, and later the Russian dreadnought Petropavlovsk and Italian Roma were sunk by German air attacks.
