Launched in 1913, the oil-powered HMS 'Elizabeth' was a super dreadnought class battleship. Her first major operation was in March 1915 when she led the naval task force attempting to force the Dardanelles and knock Turkey out of the war. In April she supported the Allied landings at Gallipoli, providing fire-support to the troops landing at Cape Helles with her 15-inch guns.
