HMS Superb (1907)

HMS Superb (1907)

HMS "Superb" (1907) was a "Bellerophon"-class battleship of the Royal Navy.

Her construction was substantially delayed by labour disputes. She was commissioned for service with 1st Battle Squadron, Home Fleet where she remained until being transferred to 4th Battle Squadron in 1915. She was flagship of the 3rd Division, with "Iron Duke" (flagship), "Royal Oak" and "Canada", and 11th ship in line, at the Battle of Jutland, during which she fired 54 12 in shells and received no damage.

In 1918, she was detached with HMS|Temeraire|1907|6 to the Mediterranean, becoming flagship of the British Eastern Mediterranean Squadron and later flagship of the British Naval Forces in the Black Sea. Returning home in 1919, she was paid off into the Nore Reserve. She was paid off into the Disposal list in 1920 and was used as a gunnery and aerial-attack target until sold for breakup in 1922.
