TFA blurb review

HMS Ramillies was one of five Revenge-class super-dreadnought battleships built for the Royal Navy during the First World War. Completed in late 1917, the ship saw no combat during the war. She went to Turkey twice in the early 1920s in response to crises arising from the Greco-Turkish War, including the Great Fire of Smyrna in 1922. She also saw limited involvement during the Franco-British intervention in the Russian Civil War. During the Second World War, Ramillies was initially assigned to escort duties in the North Atlantic. After the Italians entered the war in June, she bombarded Italian ports in North Africa, escorted convoys to Malta, and supported the Taranto raid. Returning to Atlantic escort duties in 1941, the ship prevented Germany's Scharnhorst-class battleships from attacking a convoy; she also joined the search for the battleship Bismarck. The ship bombarded the coast during the Normandy landings in June 1944 and the invasion of southern France in August. (Full article...)
