An excellent design, the ''Queen Elizabeth'' class of battleships served with distinction through both world wars. They were, in many ways, the first modern battleships deployed by any navy.

The lead ship, Queen Elizabeth, entered service during World War I and participated in the Gallipoli campaign as the flagship of the Eastern Mediterranean Squadron. In 1918, the treaty of surrender of the German Navy was signed on board her. She served in the Mediterranean and Atlantic Seas during the interwar period. In 1941, she was damaged by Italian saboteurs, underwent repairs in the U.S., and became the flagship of the Eastern Fleet.</p><p> </p></div>

Tier VI's ''Queen Elizabeth'' is the last classical dreadnought of the British battleship line. Players who own Tier VI premium ''[[Warspite]]'' — a ''Queen Elizabeth''-class battleship — or are veterans of Tier VI German battleship ''[[Bayern]]'' will find ''Queen Elizabeth'' to be familiar territory.  


''Queen Elizabeth'' possesses adequate speed for her tier, and has a solid armor belt married to hard-hitting, accurate guns with good firing angles.  Her ability to overmatch the common bow armor of all existing battleships through Tier VII is a notable advantage.  She does not suffer nearly as much from the need to plan based upon the battle situation as ''[[New Mexico]]'', ''[[Arizona]]'', or ''[[Fuso]]'', though she does suffer from the same glacially slow turret traverse speed as predecessors ''[[Iron Duke]]'' and ''[[Orion]]''.  Her anti-aircraft suite is the best amongst Tier VI battleships, blowing past even that of ''New Mexico''. 
===Pros===
* Pro 1
* Pro 2


Players will find ''Queen Elizabeth'' to be as dominant as ''Warspite'' in same-tier matches and entirely capable in mid-tier matches.  While she can struggle as a bottom tier ship, she's no less capable than any other Tier VI battleship.
===Cons===
* Con 1
* Con 2


|Pros=<!-- write list of positive points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. -->
* Powerful guns with decent accuracy.
* Extended armor belt.
* Good maneuverability.
* Best anti-aircraft armament of all Tier VI battleships.


|Cons=<!-- write list of negative points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. -->
==Ship Stats==
* Underwhelming torpedo protection.

''Queen Elizabeth'' is somewhat unique as the preferred research priority depends very much on personal play style. There is no upgrade which provides an obvious advantage over the other choices. Players who prize maneuverability will want to research the engine upgrade first, those who prefer the ability to hit targets at range will choose the fire control system, and those who value anti-aircraft protection and survivability will choose the hull.

=== History ===


==== Design ====
The ''Queen Elizabeth'' class was originally envisioned as an iterative improvement over the previous ''[[Iron Duke]]'', but several previously untried principles were introduced.  A top speed of 25 knots was specified, to be achieved by building the ships as the first entirely oil-fueled battleships in the world.  The proposed 14-inch guns were to be replaced by 15-inch guns — a measure strongly supported by then-First Sea Lord Winston Churchill — to keep the Royal Navy both peerless and parlous.


As designed and ordered, the ''Queen Elizabeth''-class battleships would have two fewer guns than their predecessors, but a heavier broadside weight due to the use of the 15-inch guns.  The removal of the mid-ship centerline turret simplified the arrangement of the engineering spaces while also allowing the ships to be completed with the modest approximate 2,000 ton increase over the ''Iron Duke'' class.  Though the design speed was intended to be 25 knots, this was, in practice, never reached.

The ''Queen Elizabeth'' class became a remarkably successful design, and served through both world wars. Subject to extensive modification during the interwar years, their appearance and capabilities changed radically over their service lives.


''Queen Elizabeth'' in particular saw her first modification when it was determined her secondary armament stations as designed were prone to being washed out even under normal conditions. Two of her 6-inch guns were removed, and two were re-sited to the boat deck in shielded mounts during 1915. All other ships of the class were then completed with this arrangement. She received an extra inch of armor over her main armored deck after the experience of Jutland, and in the early 1920s she was equipped with a flying-off platform on each of her A and X turrets for spotting or fighter aircraft, though she had no means of recovering them.

}}


''Queen Elizabeth'' underwent her first major reconstruction from 1926 to 1927.  Her funnels were trunked (combined), the flying-off platforms removed, and she received torpedo bulges.  In 1937, she paid off for a second, even more extensive reconstruction.  Her submerged torpedo tubes were removed, newer, more efficient engine machinery installed, and her main battery received and elevation increase to 30 degrees which increased effective range.  Her superstructure was completely redesigned at this time, and the bridge fully enclosed.  Her armament was further modified with all her 6-inch guns being landed, the casemates were plated over, and she received ten twin (10x2) QF Mark I and Mark III 4.5-inch high-angle, dual-purpose guns instead.  Her deck armor was further augmented at this time. ''Queen Elizabeth'' received an ever-increasing number of anti-aircraft weapons over her service life, and by 1945 had over fifty 20mm guns installed.


====Service History====
==Gallery==
HMS ''Queen Elizabeth'' was sent to join the Mediterranean in late 1914.  There she engaged in bombardment of Turkish positions as part of the preparation for the Gallipoli landings, but was withdrawn in May 1915 to rejoin the Grand Fleet.  She served as fleet flagship for the remainder of the war, but was engaged in a refit and thus absent from the Battle of Jutland.  She again resumed flagship duties for the Atlantic Fleet through 1924, when she transferred to the Mediterranean, again as fleet flagship until 1926, when she returned to England for refit.  Upon completion, ''Queen Elizabeth'' rejoined the Mediterranean Fleet until 1937, when she returned to England for her second major refit.

''Queen Elizabeth'' completed her second refit in January 1941 and was attached to the Home Fleet until May, when she once again was sent to serve as flagship of the Mediterranean Fleet.  She would spend the remainder of 1941 escorting convoys and covering the evacuation of Crete.  In December 1941, ''Queen Elizabeth'' was anchored in Alexandria, Egypt when a large limpet mine placed on her bottom by Italian divers was detonated, causing severe flooding and sinking the ship to the harbor bottom, though her decks remained above water. Over the next few months, she was refloated and sailed for Norfolk Naval Yard in the United States for refit and repairs in late June 1942.  Having completed repairs, ''Queen Elizabeth'' embarked for England in late June 1943, where she served with the Home Fleet until sent to the Indian Ocean in December, arriving in January 1944.

''Queen Elizabeth'' was made fleet flagship of the Pacific Fleet, and participated in the raids on Japanese targets in the Netherlands East Indies throughout 1944 and 1945, as well as joining the covering force which attacked targets in the Andaman Islands in support of the recapture of Rangoon in British Burma in 1945. In July 1945, ''Queen Elizabeth'' was replaced by ''[[Nelson]]'' and returned to Portsmouth, England that August.  She was then placed in reserve and used as an accommodation ship until March 1948, when she was sold off for scrapping.  ''Queen Elizabeth'' was broken up for scrap in July 1948.

===Historical Inaccuracies===
* ''Queen Elizabeth'' is only shown in game after her major 1937-1940 rebuild, meaning her World War I and interwar period conditions are not represented.
* ''Queen Elizabeth'' is also not shown in 1943 to 1945 condition, where the catapult was removed and sixteen (16) dual 20mm Oerlikons were added.
* Hull (A) in game should have zero 20mm Oerlikons, not eight.

Queen Elizabeth — U.K. Tech Tree Tier VI Battleship.

In 1912, it was planned to build four fast battleships with 381 mm guns. The lead ship, Queen Elizabeth, entered service during World War I and participated in the Gallipoli campaign as the flagship of the Eastern Mediterranean Squadron. In 1918, the treaty of surrender of the German Navy was signed on board her. She served in the Mediterranean and Atlantic Seas during the interwar period. In 1941, she was damaged by Italian saboteurs, underwent repairs in the U.S., and became the flagship of the Eastern Fleet.
