	Queen Elizabeth class battleship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Queen Elizabeth-class battleships were a class of five super-dreadnoughts of the Royal Navy.
		In World War II, the class also performed with distinction, though their age, and the increasing obsolescence of the battleship in the face of air power, was beginning to show.
		Queen Elizabeth missed Jutland, but took part in the Dardanelles Campaign in World War I. In World War II she was mined and sunk by Italian frogmen at Alexandria in 1941.

		They were envisaged partially due to fears of the Queen Elizabeth class' total reliance on oil as its fuel source, which was a first for a British class of Dreadnought battleships.
		The demise of the Revenge class and others soon after the war showed the advent of the aircraft-carrier as the new Queen of the Seas; though it must be said, the contribution the dreadnoughts made to the Royal Navy's history was immense.
		For subsequent British capital ships, see Renown class battlecruisers that fought in WWI, HMS Hood which was laid down during WWI, the Nelson class of battleships laid down in 1922, the King George V class built before WWII and the world's last battleship, HMS Vanguard.

	Build a Better Battleship
		The three basic capabilities of a battleship are the ability to deliver significant punishment, the ability to withstand similar punishment and the ability to move to a combat area and within a combat area.
		A revolutionary concept in battleship design called for "all or nothing armor." The concept was to place the maximum armored protection over the vital areas of the ship and leave the rest of the ship virtually unprotected.
		Many of the old battleships were fitted with external "torpedo blisters" that were added to the hulls of these ships to provide extra layers of protection.

		However, the design study for the Japanese Kongo had a strong influence on the design of the Tiger, and she was redrawn to be far closer to the Kongo than to the three Lion Class ships.
		The poor main battery layout of the Lion Class was corrected, as was the poor mast arrangement.
		What resulted was a battlecruiser equivalent of the Iron Duke Class battleships, with the same main battery, round funnels, tripod masts, and 6" secondary battery.
