| HMS Revenge |
 
Dates: 1915 - 1948 HMS Revenge (pennant number 06) was the lead ship of the Revenge class of battleships of the Royal Navy, the ninth to bear the name. She was launched during World War I in 1915. Though the class is often referred to as the Royal Sovereign class, official documents of 1914–1918 refer to the class as the Revenge class. She was commissioned in 1916, just before the battle of Jutland. She was a truly gargantuan warship at the time, especially imposing when seen from her bow.
