HMS Collingwood (1908)

HMS "Collingwood" was a "St. Vincent"-class battleship of the Royal Navy.

The ship was launched 7 November 1908, and completed in 1910, serving in the 1st Division of the British Home Fleet. In February, 1911 "Collingwood" grounded on an uncharted rock off Ferrol.

She became flagship of the 1st Battle Squadron in June 1912, joined the Grand Fleet in August 1914, and participated at the Battle of Jutland. Prince Albert (later King George VI) served on "Collingwood" at Jutland as a sub-lieutenant in 'A' turret.

In 1916, "Collingwood" joined the Fourth Battle Squadron and later served as a gunnery training ship at Portsmouth. The ship was sold for scrap in 1922.
