HMS Irresistible - Battleship

Country : UK
Launched : 15th December 1898

The first vessel to be sent to Gibraltar as a guardship was the Devastation, but her place was to be taken by Irresistible, one of the London class battleships, in 1902. She was an exceedingly powerful vessel, and the Commander-in-Chief in the Mediterranean would not allow her to remain at the Rock in idleness, but utilised her as an addition to his squadron. The picture shows the Irresistible leaving Portsmouth Harbour, and allows a contrast between her look of stern fighting power with the old time veterans the St Vincent and the Victory and a smart little brig the Martin. Armament: four 12inch guns, twelve 6 inch guns, sixteen 12 pdr guns, two 12 pdr guns, six 3 pdr guns, 2 maxims and four torpedo tubes. Displacement: 15,000 tons. Speed: 18 knots. Complement: 780 (flagship 810).

Sunk 18th March 1915.
