HMS Ramillies (1892)
HMS ''Ramillies'' was a pre-dreadnought battleship of Royal Navy and part of the seven ship ''Royal Sovereign'' class. She was long with a beam of and a draught of 27' 6". She produced and could make . The class was faster and better armoured than their predecessors and carried a potent secondary armament but these features inevitably increased their weight: ''Ramillies'' displaced 14,150 tons whereas previous battleships seldom topping 10,000 tonnes. Her main armament consisted of four 13.5-inch (343-mm) guns in two barbettes with a secondary set of ten 6-inch (152-mm) guns. She cost £900,000.
''Ramillies'' was launched in 1892 and commissioned in 1893, serving in the Mediterranean Fleet as flagship. In 1902 she was replaced in that role by HMS ''Venerable'' and returned to England for a refit,commissioned into the Reserve in 1905. She suffered damage in manouevres in 1906, and was recommissioned in to the Special Service Division of the Home Fleet in 1907, becoming the Parent Ship of the 4th Division of the Home Fleet in 1910. She was relieved of that role a year later, reduced to material reserve at Devonport in August 1911 and laid up at Motherbank for disposal in July 1913. She was sold for scrapping on 7 October 1913. Along with other pre-Dreadnought battleships, she had been outclassed by the new designs.
==Technical Characteristics==
''Ramillies'' was ordered under the Naval Defence Act Programme of 1889, built and engined by J and G Thompson of Clydebank and launched on 1 March 1892 at a cost of just over £900,000.〔(HMS Ramillies )〕 She was built at such a shallow inclination that it took her 86 minutes to slide down the ways, even with rams pushing and tugs pulling her, sometimes moving at a rate too slow to be perceived by the human eye, and most of the crowd gathered to see her launching had left before she was in the water.〔Burt, p. 81〕
She displaced 14,150 tons and was long with a beam of and a draught of 27' 6". She produced and could make . At full strength she carried a complement of over seven hundred. At the time of their completion, she and her sisters were perhaps the best all-round battleships in the world. Their greater freeboard enhanced their seagoing capabilities, enabling them to engage the enemy in rougher seas than previous designs, an important consideration in the North Sea and North Atlantic; however, they tended to develop a heavy roll in some conditions, and after HMS ''Resolution'' rolled badly in heavy seas in 1893 the entire class was nicknamed the "Rolling Ressies," a name which stuck even though the problem was quickly corrected by the fitting of bilge keels.〔 The ships were also faster and better armoured than their predecessors and carried a potent secondary armament but these features inevitably increased their weight, with previous battleships seldom topping 10,000 tonnes. () Her main armament consisted of four 13.5-inch (343-mm) guns in two barbettes with a secondary set of ten 6-inch (152-mm) guns. She also sported an array of smaller guns and seven 18-inch (457-mm) torpedo tubes. She had a partial belt of 18-inch- (457-mm-) thick steel.
