HMS Devastation was the lead ship of her class of mastless ironclad turret ships built for the Royal Navy. Along with her sister HMS Thunderer (1872), she was the first class of ocean-going capital ships that did not carry sails, and the first in which the entire main armament was mounted on top of the hull rather than inside it.
