One of the armament options was to install 381 mm guns in three triple-gun turrets, which allowed for offsetting the heavy weight the enhanced armor implied.</p><p> </p></div>
One of the preliminary versions of the ''[[King George V]]''-class ships armed with 381 mm main battery guns. She had features characteristic of a next-generation battleship, namely relatively high speed, thick horizontal armor, and dual-purpose artillery.<br><br>{{Model3DViewer|5c54fd1f84b544a39ce553ca7711bf6b}}


|Performance=<!-- write text about performance in battles below -->
===Pros===
{{AA Sidebar Warning Insert}}
* Low detectability
Tier VIII's ''Monarch'' plays much like predecessor ''[[King George V]]'' a tier below, with noticeable improvements in the calibre of her guns and anti-aircraft suite.
* High damage per minute with both HE and AP shells
* Access to Specialized Repair Teams consumable <small>(Restores a considerable portion of a ship's HP by repairing damage within a short period of time)</small>


Unlike the ''King George V'' with her ten 14-inch guns, ''Monarch'' is equipped with a more competitive main battery comprised of nine 15-inch guns in three triple-barrel turrets.  Each barrel reloads in a mere 25 seconds, faster than even ''[[Bismarck]]''’s eight 15-inch guns.  However, ''Monarch''’s secondary battery leaves something to be desired, unlike her German peer; it isn't worth investing upgrades or commander skill points in improving.  Her anti-aircraft battery has a somewhat similar story, with a weak long-range bubble but a fairly strong mid-range one.  ''Monarch'' won't be able to deter determined airstrikes on her own — especially from equal tiered aircraft carriers or higher — but she can make them costly with Advanced Firing Training and/or AA Guns Modification 1.
===Cons===
* Low level of protection against HE shells
* Low AA defense efficiency at long range


Out of all the Tier VIII battleships, ''Monarch'' also has the least health, lagging behind her contemporaries by a good six thousand hit points or more.  She also has a large superstructure which is easy to hit with high explosive shells; she is more akin to a butterfly than royalty and should seek to avoid the limelight.  Her health and squishy superstructure mean that ''Monarch'' does not take hits very well, and should not attempt to tank damage from multiple sources simultaneously.


While ''Monarch''’s guns stack up damage rather well, don't count on racking up citadels on enemy battleships.  The comparatively lower caliber of ''Monarch's'' guns (15 inches vs. the 16 inches found on ''[[North Carolina]]'' and ''[[Amagi]]'') hurt her penetration against contemporary battleships.  Instead of shooting at their waterlines, captains should shift their aim a little higher in order to strike an enemy battleship above their main belt armour.  Unfortunately, her main guns can only reach out to a range of 18.1 kilometres.  It is a good thing she has access to the {{Spotting Aircraft}} consumable, which can extend her range out by 20% for a short time.

It is not ''Monarch''’s guns that make her fearsome, however.  Fully kitted out in a concealment build, ''Monarch'' can have a detection range of 11.5 kilometres, making her the stealthiest battleship in her tier spread.  This concealment mitigates her relative fragility and the limited range of her main guns.  It allows ''Monarch'' to pick-and-choose her fights; to control her engagements to a higher degree, and run away when needed.  All in all, this is what makes ''Monarch'' unique.  It turns an otherwise average and uninspiring battleship into one that can move around and impact the outcome of a match with a greater degree of flexibility than many of her contemporaries.

|Research=<!-- write text about priority sequence of research below -->
</div>
Captains should prioritize ''Monarch''’s upgraded Fire Control System module first, vastly improving upon her 16.5 km stock range. Then, take her Hull upgrade for an extra 7,000 hit points and improved rudder shift time.   Save the improved Propulsion module for last.

|Upgrades=<!-- write text about best upgrades below -->
</div></div></div>
The recommended upgrades for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' are as follows:
<div class="b-popup"><div class="b-popup_head js-tech-nav_head"><div><h2>Main Battery</h2></div><span class="b-tech-nav_arrow"></span></div><div class="b-popup_content" style="display: none;"><div><div style="border: 2px solid rgba(212,175,55,0.8); border-radius: 3px; margin-bottom: 1em; overflow: hidden;">
* '''Slot 1:'''  {{Main Armaments Modification 1}} is the best pick, as her damage ability hinges on the main batteries and keeping them in the game is vital. This upgrade ensures that they have more survivability, and won't be easily knocked out.  
{| class="wikitable" style="margin:0; color:inherit; width:100%"
* '''Slot 2:'''  {{Damage Control System Modification 1}}.  While this module slot in general doesn't offer much usability for ''Monarch'', the Damage Control Modification will go some way towards mitigating fire and torpedo damage. 
! style="background-color:#1a3244; color:#ffffff; font-weight:bold;" | MAIN BATTERY !! style="background-color:#1a3244; color:#ffffff; font-weight:bold;" | Mk VIII mod. 1 !! style="background-color:#1a3244; color:#ffffff; font-weight:bold;" | Mk VIII mod. 2
* '''Slot 3:'''  {{Aiming Systems Modification 1}}. While {{AA Guns Modification 1}} is certainly a viable alternative, the ability to put shots downrange more accurately is always usable and certainly very helpful.
|-
* '''Slot 4:'''  {{Damage Control System Modification 2}}. Like Damage Control Modification 1, this upgrade goes a long way towards reducing the amount of fire and flooding damage taken.  
| style="color:inherit;" | • Arrangement || colspan="2" style="color:inherit;" | 3×3 381mm
* '''Slot 5:'''  {{Concealment System Modification 1}}.  The benefits of this modification are fairly obvious.  Using it with the Concealment Expert commander skill brings ''Monarch'' down to a 10.9 km detection range, allowing her to out-spot many cruisers in her tier spread and ''all'' battleships she might encounter.

|History=<!-- write text below -->
'''Damage by shell explosions'''
This ship shares its name with an ''[[Orion]]''-class battleship ''Monarch'' that was built in 1910 and sunk as a target in 1925. The 15 inch (381mm) gun designs for the ''King George V'' were rejected by the Admiralty due to the desire to remain within the terms of the Second London Naval Treaty signed in 1936 and prevent a costly arms race between major naval powers. While these designs were preferred by the Admiralty, the Royal Navy needed new modern Battleships quickly, and couldn't afford to wait until April 1937 to lay down the first new ships. This deadline for Japan and Italy agreeing to the treaty would have allowed the Royal Navy to invoke the escalator cause

In World of Warships, ''Monarch'' is a very loose interpretation of Design 15C of 1935, one of the designs that was put forward alongside those that would later develop into the ''[[King George V]]''-class battleships. It is arguable that ''Monarch'' doesn't represent design 15C at all due to the numerous major historical inaccuracies and differences from the actual design.


===Historical Inaccuracies===
<!-- Add the ship code here to populate the upgrade table -->
* ''Monarch'' actually uses the exact same hull as the ''King George V''-class ''[[Duke of York]]'', sharing the same dimensions, with differences to the mast, aircraft catapult and anti aircraft armament.
{{Ship Upgrades Section|code=PBSB108_Monarch}}
* The preliminary designs with 15-inch guns (such as 15C) had a length of 225.6m, while ''Monarch'' in game has the same length as ''King George V'' at 227.2m, as she shares the same hull.
* The 15-inch gun preliminary designs for the ''King George V'' had twenty (20) 4.5-inch (114mm) secondaries rather than the sixteen (16) 5.25-inch (134mm) secondaries. It is possible that had the design been approved, it may have switched to 5.25-inch secondaries during development.
* All the preliminaries for ''King George V'' used the flat style of turret as found on ''King George V'' while ''Monarch'' uses the more rounded turret style that the previous ''[[Nelson]]'' class used.
* No British battleship ever received the lattice masts that ''Monarch'' carries; even the later ''Vanguard'' (completed in 1946), despite ''Monarch'' supposedly being in a hypothetical 1945 configuration.
* As the hull is a near copy of the ''King George V'' hull, the citadel volume encompassing the magazines, handling rooms, and machinery spaces should all have distinct heights, compared to the uniform citadel roof deck as modeled in-game.
* British armor thicknesses are actually 0.98 times their nominal thickness, due to using 40 lb/sq ft as the approximate weight of steel (actual weight is 40.8 lb/sq ft). Consequently, the nominal 15 inch (381mm) belt would have actually been 14.7 inch (374 mm) thick. The effective quality of the armour is also not taken into account.

Monarch — U.K. Tech Tree Tier VIII Battleship.

After receiving intel that Japan wouldn't limit the caliber of its new battleships, British engineers began making changes to the construction of the new project 14O battleships. One of the armament options was to install 381 mm guns in three triple-gun turrets, which allowed for offsetting the heavy weight the enhanced armor implied.

Pros

  • Low detectability
  • High damage per minute with both HE and AP shells
  • Access to Specialized Repair Teams consumable (Restores a considerable portion of a ship's HP by repairing damage within a short period of time)

Cons

  • Low level of protection against HE shells
  • Low AA defense efficiency at long range
