"ROYAL SOVEREIGN-Class battleship ordered from HM Dockyard, Portsmouth under the 1913 Build Programme and laid down on 15th January 1914. She was launched on 29th April 1915 as the 8th RN ship to carry this name which was introduced in 1509 for GRACE DIEU. It was last used for a battleship built in 1891 and sold in 1913. Build was completed in May 1916 and she then joined the Grand Fleet at Scapa Flow. The ship was deployed in Home waters during WW1 and remained in full commission after the end of hostilities, apart from refit periods. She was deployed with the Home Fleet and manned from the Chatham Depot. This ship was affectionately know as the "Tiddley Quid". There is no record of any adoption by a UK civil community as a result of a WARSHIP WEEK National Savings campaign during 1941-42, probably because she was under refit. link From here link Hope you enjoy!

I was wondering who made a 1/700 kit and what a fantastic job this guy had done when I came to the pic with the Bic. This is close to unbelievable. And the way he has depicted the water!

She was the last R in commission by virtue of the fact that the Russians took their time giving her back.
