HMS St Vincent - Gosport shore establishment - ended on 1969-04-02.
HMS St Vincent, a shore establishment in Gosport, was created in 1927. It served as a training base for the Royal Navy, providing education and training for recruits and junior sailors. The establishment played a significant role in naval training until it closed in 1996.
Shore bombardment was provided by the elderly battleships HMS Warspite, HMS Ramillies, and USS Nevada, along with several Allied cruisers. Thousands of ships of other types participated, mostly to transport the invasion force across the English Channel, with destroyers and minesweepers to protect them.
There were exactly 104 dreadnought battleships existing during WWI; named after HMS Dreadnought which was launched in 1906. Prior to 1906, battleships are referred to as Pre-Dreadnoughts. The first two Japanese Dreadnoughts are officially referred to as Semi Dreadnoughts, but they were clearly dreadnoughts as they had a uniform big gun 12" armament and turbine engines. I count them here as Dreadnoughts, because they should be.
