  1. HMS Ramillies was a Royal Sovereign-class battleship of the Royal Navy commissioned into service in 1893.

    She became increasingly obsolescent as the all-big-gun concept emerged in the early 1900s. Placed in reserve and eventually paid off, being sold for breaking up in 1913, just as HMS Dreadnought had rendered her entire generation of battleships obsolete. #Navy #battleship #HMSRamillies #maritimehistory #naval #NavalHistory #Predreadnought #RoyalNavy #Ship #warship destinationsjourney.com/histor
