HMS Marlborough: A Symbol of British Naval Power in the 1920s This photograph showcases HMS Marlborough, an Iron Duke-class battleship of the British Royal Navy, proudly displaying its 3-inch high-angle gun during the 1920s. The Iron Duke-class battleships, named in honor of John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, were built between 1911 and 1915, with HMS Marlborough being launched at Devonport Royal Dockyard in January 1912 and commissioned in June 1914. As tensions rose in Europe leading to the First World War, HMS Marlborough was assigned to the Mediterranean Fleet, where it played a significant role in maintaining peace and stability in the region. Post-war, the battleship took part in the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War, operating in the Black Sea between 1919 and 1920. Additionally, HMS Marlborough was involved in the Greco-Turkish War, demonstrating its importance as a key player in the British naval presence in the Mediterranean. This photograph, taken circa 1923, captures the essence of HMS Marlborough's power and dominance during the 1920s. The high-angle gun, a crucial component of the battleship's defensive and offensive capabilities, is prominently featured, emphasizing the ship's readiness to protect and serve. With its impressive size, advanced weaponry, and unwavering presence, HMS Marlborough stood as a symbol of British naval power and influence in the interwar period.
