History
HMS Warspite (03) was a Queen Elizabeth–class battleship of the Royal Navy, launched in 1913 and commissioned in 1915. She first saw action at the Battle of Jutland (1916), where she sustained heavy damage yet earned a reputation for resilience and tenacity.
Modernized between the wars with new machinery, enhanced armor, and upgraded armament, Warspite again distinguished herself in World War II — from Narvik to Cape Matapan and supporting the D‑Day landings — earning the affectionate title “Grand Old Lady.”
Retired after the war, Warspite’s final voyage in 1947 ended when she broke free from her tow and ran aground in Cornwall. Though her service concluded, her legacy endures as one of the Royal Navy’s most decorated and admired ships — a fitting subject for a timeless, handcrafted model.
