Some information about HMS Thunderer...
HMS Thunderer was the third Orion-class battleship built for the Royal Navy and was the last vessel to be constructed by Thames Iron Works. She was the last and largest warship ever built on the River Thames.
On commissioning in June 1912 Thunderer and her three Orion-class sisters – Orion, Conqueror and Monarch formed the 2nd Division of the 2nd Battle Squadron of the Grand Fleet and she remained with her sister ships throughout.
In December 1914, she was refitted. She was present with her squadron at the Battle of Jutland on 31 May 1916, firing 37 13.5" (343 mm) shells. She suffered no damage.
As a result of the Washington Naval Convention, she was decommissioned in 1921. From 1922, she served as a seagoing training ship for cadets, the sole survivor of her class. One of those trainees recalled a CPO thrusting his jack-knife up to the hilt into the side of one of the turrets the layers of paint were over five inches thick.
In November 1926 Thunderer was sold for scrap. She was too deep drafted to enter Blyth so was partially stripped down at Rosyth. Even so she grounded at the entrance and it took six days to get her light enough to be floated to Hughes Bolckow for scrapping. Although stripped of her guns and large amounts of her upperworks she still arrived under her own steam .
