Completed in 1916. First Royal Navy battleship sunk in WWII October 1939, by which time she was practically obsolete. Now a designated war grave in Scapa Flow.

** info ** (Today's history lesson)

It was named after the Royal Oak in which Charles II of England hid himself during his flight from the country in the British Civil War. The tree was located in Boscobel Wood, which was part of the park of Boscobel House on the Shropshire/Staffordshire border near Wolverhampton.
