HMS Royal Oak was the only ship of the class (the others being HMS Royal
Sovereign, Empress of India, Repulse, Ramillies, Resolution and Revenge) not to have
been fitted with steam pipes abaft the Funnels, this
made her easily distinguished from the sister ships. In her final years
she served in home waters finally being scrapped 14th January 1914.
