HMS Ceylon

HMS Ceylon was a Royal Navy battleship built in the 1940s, named after the island of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). It was designed for heavy artillery combat during World War II and later served as a flagship and part of the fleet during the post-war years. The ship had powerful guns for naval battles, good armor for protection, and advanced technology for its time. Decommissioned in the 1960s, HMS Ceylon played a significant role in naval defenses during the mid-20th century, representing British maritime power and technological progress of its era.
