HMS Royal Oak was one of the five Revenge class battleships built for the British Royal Navy during World War I. The ship started construction on January 15, 1914, was launched on November 17 of the same year, and was completed on May 1, 1916. Completed and served in the same year, and participated in the Battle of Jutland.
In 1928,HMS Royal Oak caught the attention of the world when its senior officers were tried by a controversial military court, causing considerable embarrassment to the Royal Navy at the time. During her 25 year service career, despite multiple modernization upgrades, her slow sailing problem could not be solved, and by the beginning of World War II, she was no longer suitable for frontline work.
On October 14, 1939, HMS Royal Oak temporarily anchored in Scapa Flow, Orkney, Scotland as a floating battery and was sunk by a torpedo from the German submarine U-47.
