Trumpeter 1/350 HMS Queen Elizabeth
Brief History of the Queen Elizabeth Class Battleship:
In 1912 the British Admirality approved a draft by Sir Philip Watts for a 27,500 ton battleship to be armed with the largest gun caliber ever mounted on a capital ship the 15in/42cal Breech Loader, Mark 1 still under development which later became one of the most successful naval guns ever produced. To attain a 25 knot speed this class of super-dreadnought took advantage of the thermal efficiency of fuel-oil boilers and thus, on October 21, 1912 the keel of the first of five Fast-Battleships was laid.
