	Renown class battlecruiser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Renown class was a class of 2 battlecruisers of the Royal Navy built during the First World War.
		Eustace Tennyson-D'Eyncourt as Director of Naval Construction had designed the Revenges and the Renowns were produced by reducing the number of turrets from four to three and providing thinner armour.
		Renown survived the war, to be scrapped in 1948.

		The Renown class were built at great speed using material from the orders for two Revenge class battleships.
		After a decade of further service, Renown was again reconstructed, greatly changing her appearance and giving her a modern anti-aircraft gun battery, much enhanced aircraft-handling facilities and up-to-date gunfire controls.
		HMS Renown had brief post-war service in British waters and was sold for scrapping in March 1948.

		Initially, the Renown's had been planned as battleships, rather similar to the Royal Sovereign.
		The Renown's were clearly inferior to a true battleship, lacking fire power (six 15-Inch guns instead of eight) and protection.
		The Renown, comprehensively modernized, played an active role in the Mediterranean Sea in 1940-41, often operating with the Ark Royal from Gibraltar.

	Origins of the Battlecruiser
		Thus, in Imperial Russia, the battlecruiser was from the start conceived of as a ship fit to lie in the line of battle; taking a page from Togo's book, the Russians designed their IZMAIL (or BORODINO) class battlecruisers as a "fast wing" of the battle fleet.
		The parallel N3 class battleships were slower, and armed with 18-inch guns; they were given a much lower priority than the "battlecruisers." The Japanese were likewise designing a parallel series of battleships and battlecruisers, where the only difference between types was slightly thicker armor in the battleships, and slightly higher speed in the battlecruisers.
		These ships, called "battlecruisers" in the west, were more in the nature of "cruiser killers," and, as their Russian designation implies, were never meant to slug it out with real battleships.

		HMS Renown was the lead ship of the three 26,500-ton Renown class battlecruisers of the Royal Navy; the other two were HMS Repulse and the cancelled HMS Resistance.
		Being one of only three battlecruisers that survived World War II (the others being the two US Navy Alaska class "large cruisers"), she was the only pre-1939 battlecruiser to survive.
		Renown had brief post-war service in British waters as a training hulk and was sold for scrapping in March 1948.

		At 0510 the main guns on the Scharnhorst responded the fire and at the same time the enemy was identified as a battlecruiser of the Renown Class.
		In fact it was HMS Renown and she was accompanied by nine "H" class destroyers of the 2nd Destroyer Flotilla.
		In the engagement with the Renown, the Scharnhorst's radar malfunctioned, and she could not track the target.

		While Renown and Repulse were a return to the first generation type battlecruiser, and Courageous, Glorious, and Furious were an evolutionary sidebar, the proposals for the next class of battlecruisers would be more like those for the Lion and Tiger classes.
		Armstrong drew up four battlecruiser designs toward the end of 1915, the first of which reflected current thinking, and the realities of the current conflict.
		Wartime experience had shown the need for more freeboard, so the low-slung lines of the Renown class were not repeated, and the deck height above the water was similar to Lion.

		The Alaska-class Battlecruisers were the first of that particular type of warship to serve in the United States Navy.
		The beautiful Tiger was an improved Lion class, incorporating enhancements the British gleamed from observing the construction of the Japanese battlecruiser Kongo (which was built in England).
		The last British battlecruisers that were built and served in the First World War were the fast, thin-skinned, 15” gunned Repulse and Renown.

		HMS Repulse was a Renown-class battlecruiser, the second to last battlecruiser built by John Brown and Company, Clydebank, Scotland, for the Royal Navy.
		She was originally intended to be a unit of the R class battleships, but was ordered to a modified design.
		She was launched in 1916, too late to take part in the Battle of Jutland, but also too early to incorporate the lessons of that battle.

		Renown and her sister Repulse were designed and built quickly during the war after the return of Admiral Fisher as First Sea Lord.
		She was very similar to the preceding Derfflinger class, an indication that despite the loss of Lützow they were considered a successful design.

		The design had good firepower with the excellent 15 inch gun and high speed but the protection was along the scale of the original British battlecruisers, totally inadequate for a ship of this size.
