"HMS Devastation: A Formidable Force in the British Navy" The HMS Devastation, along with its sister ship Valorous, showcased their might off the coast of Portland in a stunning engraving. These ships were among the pride of the British Navy, as depicted in a lithograph capturing their grandeur. In another lithograph, we witness the Coronation Naval Review before King Edward at Spithead on 16 August. The presence symbolized the strength and power of Britain's ironclad fleet. During naval maneuvers in the Irish Channel, HMS Devastation fearlessly engaged with enemy forces, displaying its unwavering determination to protect British waters. An engraving immortalizes this intense battle scene. Not only did HMS Devastation excel in combat but also demonstrated its versatility by towing another vessel, HMS Thetis, into Malta Harbour. This remarkable feat was captured vividly through an engraving. Sea trials off Berehaven proved that HMS Devastation was more than just a formidable warship; it was a technological marvel. Engravings from this trial trip highlight its innovative design and capabilities. Royal Ships at Hampshire included none other than our beloved HMS Devastation. Its imposing figure stood tall among other prestigious vessels during this momentous occasion captured in an enchanting engraving. Blacksod Bay witnessed yet another display of power as the Evolutionary Squadron repelled attacks by torpedo-boats. Among them stood our very own HMS Devastation - an indomitable force protecting our shores. Innovation extended beyond combat prowess for this mighty vessel; it embraced change by adopting a new grey color scheme instead of traditional black-painted hulls. A black-and-white photograph showcases this striking transformation. A stern view reveals one intriguing feature - "Cul-de-Sac" formed by her upper deck on board HMSSDevatstion- adding to her uniqueness and distinguishing her from other ships.
