HMS Howe (1885)
HMS ''Howe'' was an ''Admiral''-class battleship of the Royal Navy, the last of the ''Admiral''-class to be completed.
Along with her sisters, , and , she was a progressive development of the design of . She carried a main armament of four guns, compared to the guns carried in the earlier ship. While the above-water dimensions of ''Collingwood'' were retained in ''Howe'', it was found necessary to increase the draught from to , with a commensurate increase in displacement of some . This meant that when the ship was fully loaded and with full fuel bunkers the armour belt would be virtually completely submerged; it was assumed that combat would not take place until some significant part of the fuel had been consumed, allowing the belt to rise above the waterline.
==Guns==
The guns of the main armament were mounted in two barbettes, one forward and one aft of the superstructure, and each one carrying a pair of guns. The barbettes were open, without hoods or gunshields, and the guns were fully exposed. The shells fired by these guns weighed , and when fired with a charge of of gunpowder would penetrate of iron at . In later years, a charge of of cordite was substituted for the gunpowder. There were significant delays in the production of the heavy guns for this ship and her sisters, leading to excessively prolonged building times. Even as late as early 1890, ''Howe'' only had two of her guns installed.
