H.M.S."WARSPITE"
Battleship, Queen Elizabeth Class
First built under the 1912 estimates as a
unit of the Queen Elizabeth class of five
ships, the Warspite was completed at Devon-
port in March 1915, and was in action at
Jutland. Four of these ships have been, or
are in process of being, modernized at a cost
approximately equal to the original contract
price of 2,500,000 Sterling each. New features
embodied in the reconstruction include
additional armour protection against aerial
attack, high trajectory gun-fire, and an
augmented anti-aircraft armament. Four
aircraft with catapult are now carried. With
displacements ranging from 30,600 to 31,100
tons, these ships are over 600 feet long, with
a complement of nearly 1,200. Geared
cruising turbines of 80,000 h.p. give the
Warspite a speed of 25 knots, and she is
capable of maintaining a high average speed
over a long distance.
