HMS Glatton (1914)
HMS ''Glatton'' and her sister ship were originally built as coastal defence ships for the Royal Norwegian Navy, as ''Bjørgvin'' and ''Nidaros'' respectively. She was requisitioned from Norway at the beginning of World War I, but was not completed until 1918 although she had been launched over three years earlier. On 16 September 1918, before she had even gone into action, she suffered a large fire in one of her 6-inch magazines, and had to be scuttled to prevent an explosion of her main magazines that would have devastated Dover. Her wreck was partially salvaged in 1926, and moved into a position in the northeastern end of the harbour where it would not obstruct traffic. It was subsequently buried by landfill underneath the current car ferry terminal.
==Background==
''Bjørgvin'' was ordered by Norway in 1913 to supplement the older and classes of coastal defense ships. She would have been known in Norway as P/S ''Bjørgvin''; P/S stands for ''Panserskip'' ("armoured ship"), while ''Bjørgvin'' was the old name for the Norwegian city of Bergen. However, when World War I broke out, the Royal Navy requisitioned most warships under construction in Britain for foreign powers and refunded the two-thirds of ''Bjørgvin''s £370,000 purchase price already paid by the Norwegians.〔Buxton, p. 107〕
