No. There was an HMS Rodney, a battleship named for a great British Admiral of the 1700s. There was an HMS Romney, but it was a minesweeper, a small auxiliary craft.
is it the HMS Dreadnought
Hood with with the battleship HMS Prince of Wales (later sunk by planes in the Pacific).
HMS Hood
HMS Warrior, a Royal Navy battleship, had a crew complement of around 705 officers and enlisted personnel during the mid-19th century.
Hood was a battlecruiser, not a battleship; about 45,000 tons.
The British battleship and battlecruiser HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse were sunk by land based bombers in the South China Sea on 10 December 1941; three days after Pearl Harbor. HMS Prince of Wales was history's first battleship sunk by aircraft while at sea (while fighting back).
To name a few: 1. HMS Hermes (aircraft carrier) 2. HMS Prince of Wales (battleship) 3. HMS Repulse (battlecruiser) 4. HMS Exeter (heavy cruiser)
Fighting each other; however Hood was not a battleship, she was a battlecruiser.
The German battleship Bismarck was hit a total of 14 times during its final battle on May 27, 1941. The British Navy's forces, including the battleship HMS King George V and the cruiser HMS Norfolk, engaged the Bismarck, inflicting significant damage. Ultimately, the ship was sunk after being disabled and targeted by torpedo bombers from the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal, leading to its demise.
A new weapon was used. The Aircraft Carrier! The aircraft carrier replaced the battleship as a major weapon, following the sinking of the British Battleship HMS Prince of Wales, and Battlecruiser HMS Repulse, by Japanese aircraft on December 10, 1941. After this date, NO naval officer doubted the power of airplanes over the battleship.
