Trivia

 * Launched in 1912, HMS Warspite, affectionately known as "The Grand Old Lady", is the most highly decorated warship in Royal Navy history, with a long and distinguished career. She was a major participant in the Battle of Jutland, the largest naval battle of World War 1, and also saw action throughout the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic and the Indian Oceans during World War 2, including providing artillery support for the Normandy landings.
 * She was taken to be scrapped in 1947, but was separated en route from her tugboats when a storm hit, making her run aground near Prussia Cove. She was scrapped three years later after an extensive salvage operation, and a memorial to her now stands near the place where she was grounded.
 * Warspite holds the record (together with the German battleship Scharnhorst, who landed an equivalent shot on the carrier HMS Glorious on 8 June 1940) for having the furthest confirmed gunnery hit by a moving ship against another ship in motion, when she landed hits against the Italian battleship Giulio Cesare from 24 km out during the Battle of Calabria.
