HMS Renown - British Tier VI Battlecruiser 1916 (Changes PT 12.11)

  HMS Renown - British Tier VI Battlecruiser 1916

Having returned to the post of First Sea Lord, Admiral Fisher lobbied for the construction of two battlecruisers—Repulse and Renown. HMS Renown was put afloat in 1916 and entered service the same year. During World War II, the ship participated in the hunt for German raiders Graf Spee and Bismarck. She was also involved in the Norwegian campaign; guarded Maltese convoys; covered the landing of Allied forces in North Africa; and was used for diplomatic purposes, transporting Winston Churchill. In 1944, she took part in the final stage of the war as part of the Eastern Fleet.

HMS Renown

HMS Renown was a battlecruiser of the Royal Navy that entered service in 1916. The classical symbols depicted on the ship's badge—the laurel wreath and the torch of glory—echo the name of the ship.
From May 23, 1941, HMS Renown, under the flag of Vice-Admiral Somerville, took part in the hunt for the battleship Bismarck. On May 26, Force H headed by the battlecruiser appeared to be the only force capable of holding off the raider ship's breakthrough to France. The main task for HMS Renown was to provide cover for the aircraft carrier Ark Royal that had delivered the major blow to the German battleship.
