Background of HMS BATTLESHIP VANGUARD:

The HMS Vanguard was the last battleship built by Britain and the largest and fastest battleship in the Royal Navy.
After the construction of the King George V class battleships began, the Royal Navy began designing the Lion class battleships. However, with the outbreak of World War II, the Lion class battleships, which would take several years to complete, were discontinued in October 1940.
According to the wartime emergency plan, the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom adopted the plan of installing four twin mounted 15 inch (381mm) caliber main gun turrets (inventory materials removed after the conversion of the Brave class light battleship cruiser into an aircraft carrier in 1924).
In response to the inadequate seaworthiness of the King George V class, the Vanguard improved its hull design by increasing the bow freeboard, resulting in excellent navigation performance, and also improved the design of the watertight compartment structure. Equipped with a relatively complete radar fire control system.
