It would be nice to have a companion piece for HMS Iron Duke.
Would that be HMS Engadine (1911) the seaplane tender or HMS Engadine (1941) the aircraft transporter?
I think the HMS Agamemnon 1906 would also be an excellent choice, showing the typical pre-Dreadnought configuration of four bug guns (two 12" guns four and aft), and smaller guns along the sides (five 9.2" guns on each side in this case).

With the construction of the Tuberculosis sanitarium at Waterfall (Garawarra) in 1911, the Anglican minister of Helensburgh served as one of the chaplains.

Subsequent investigation proved the new district was viable and with the support of a $3,000 HMS grant the new district of Helensburgh with Stanwell Park was formed with Rev. Bryan Findlayson the new Curate in charge.

Amphibious assault carriers, such as USS Tarawa, which often also serve the purpose of carrying and landing soldiers and operate a large contingent of helicopters for that purpose.
By World War II, seaplane carriers were no longer considered to be equals to carriers which could operate conventional aircraft, as conventional planes could fly farther, faster, with heavier weapons loads and greater performance; by the end of the war, early helicopters were taking over many of the roles of seaplanes.

One of three seaplanes launched from the seaplane carrier HMS Engadine located a part of the German fleet – a first for a ship-launched aircraft in wartime.
However, the Engadine’s slow speed and need to stop to launch and recover her seaplanes from the water kept the information from being passed to the Fleet commander.
As far back as 1911, the advantages of aircraft for naval reconnaissance were recognized, and various plans put forth to allow planes to take off and land from a moving ship.

More modern uses of aircraft carriers include the Falklands War, where the United Kingdom was able to win a conflict 8,000 miles (13,000 km) from home in large part due to the use of the full size carrier HMS Hermes and the smaller HMS Invincible.
