 HMS Hibernia (1905) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HMS Hibernia was a King Edward VII-class battleship of Britain's Royal Navy, the last generation of British pre-dreadnoughts.
Among those serving aboard her during this time was Augustus Agar, later V.C. and famous for exploits against the Bolsheviks and as captain of HMS Dorsetshire in World War II.
In 1917 her 6 inch guns were removed from their casemates since these were flooded in heavy seas, and replaced with four on the higher shelter deck.
