The world's first warship to carry a 381mm main battery gun. When she was commissioned she was one of the fastest ships of her type. In the interwar period, battleships were extensively modernized. Its torpedo defense was strengthened, and its obsolete secondary battery replaced with new dual-purpose artillery. The ship also received aircraft handling equipment.

In December 2017, Britain's newest aircraft carrier, HMS Queen Elizabeth, was commissioned into the Royal Navy.

Rewind the clock to December 1914, and another warship with that name is also assigned to the fleet.

Laid down in October 1912, Queen Elizabeth was built at Portsmouth Royal Dockyard and launched just twelve months later. She was named in honor of Queen Elizabeth I of England and entered service with the Royal Navy in January 1915. At over 643 feet long, she had a beam of over 90 feet and carried a payload of over 32,500 tons. Powered by two sets of steam turbines, she could cruise at a speed of 12 knots and had a range of 5,000 nautical miles.
Even though she would grow taller over the course of her long career, Queen Elizabeth still had a mighty arsenal in her early years. These included: eight 15-inch guns mounted in four twin turrets, six 6-inch guns with one extension, two quick-firing 3-inch anti-aircraft guns and four 21-inch guns. The armor is also 13 inches thick in critical areas.
After her commissioning, Queen Elizabeth was sent to the Mediterranean Sea to conduct sea trials. However, he soon received instructions to sail for the Dardanelles to support Allied operations against the Ottoman Empire. Interestingly, she was the only modern warship to take part in the campaign; the other ships of the Allied fleet were dreadnoughts or small cruisers.
During the Dardanelles campaign, Queen Elizabeth was commander in chief Sir John Hamilton, who commanded the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force. She would take part in the bombardment of Turkish coastal positions and sink enemy transport ships. However, on 12 May 1915 HMS Goliath, a heavily damaged battleship, was torpedoed and sunk by the Ottoman destroyer Muâvenet-i Millîye. Concerned about the safety of their new and expensive ship, the Royal Navy decided to withdraw the Queen Elizabeth.

His next posting was to the Grand Fleet's 5th Battle Squadron at Scapa Flow. Were it not for him carrying out dry dock repairs in May and June 1916 he would have been present at the Battle of Jutland. Coincidentally, Queen Elizabeth missed her chance to take part in the last major battleship battle in history. Nevertheless, she had the distinction of being centerpiece of the Grand Fleet in 1917 and would be present when surrender terms were offered to German Admiral Ludwig von Reuter after the armistice.
With the end of hostilities in late 1918, Queen Elizabeth was the flagship of the Atlantic Fleet from 1919 to 1924, and then flagship of the Mediterranean Fleet until her return in 1926. She returned to the Mediterranean in 1927, then the Atlantic Fleet in 1929 before returning to the Mediterranean again later that year, where he would remain until 1937.
It was during this time that Queen Elizabeth underwent the first of two major rebuildings of the interwar period. Her repairs in 1926-27 saw the addition of four 4-inch guns, and the installation of new funnels and balconies. Its second major restoration began in 1937, when a new turret bridge was added and the twenty 4.5-inch guns were replaced with ten twin turrets. New anti-aircraft guns were also installed, the engines and boilers replaced, and the platform armament improved. Perhaps one of the biggest changes was the provision of the fool's catapults to launch aircraft.
It wasn't until January 1941 that Queen Elizabeth's second renovation was completed, meaning she missed the start of the Second World War. However, once she returned to service she was reassigned to rejoin the Mediterranean Fleet, where she would soon be hired to evacuate British troops from Crete in June 1941.

On 19 December 1941 Italy attacked British warships in the Egyptian harbor of Alexandria, in response to a Royal Navy torpedo bomber attack on Taranto. During the attack, the Queen Elizabeth was mined by Italian divers, resulting in the deaths of nine of her crew.
Nonetheless, the battleship survived but the necessary repairs would take over a year and a half to complete. After temporary repairs to make it seaworthy, she left Alexandria and sailed through the Suez Canal, after which she set a course around Africa and headed to Norfolk Naval Yard in Virginia for more extensive repairs.
Returning to duty in 1943, she joined the Home Navy in July, although Queen Elizabeth was due to leave in December of the same year to join the Eastern Fleet operating against Japan. He would take part in raids on Japanese bases in the Dutch East Indies until the end of the war.
In August 1945, after thirty years of service, he was placed in reserve. The battleship proved ineffective against naval air power, as evidenced by the British attack on Taranto in 1940 and the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. She was therefore decommissioned in June 1948 and sold to Arnott Young in Dalmuir, Scotland, where he broke up
