King George V-class battleship
The King George V-class battleships were a group of four large warships built by the UK before and during World War II. They were equipped with powerful guns, strong armor, and advanced technology to engage enemy ships and defend Allied interests. Designed for fleet battles, they featured a distinctive turret system and improved fire control. These ships played significant roles in naval engagements like the Battle of the River Plate and supported various operations throughout the war. Their design reflected the transition from earlier battleship styles to faster, more heavily armed vessels suited for modern naval warfare.
