The five super-dreadnoughts of the Queen Elizabeth class were among the finest battleships ever built. Combining high speed with heavy armament, the ships made critical contributions to the defense of the United Kingdom in both the First and Second World Wars. Queen Elizabeth, Barham, Malaya, Warspite, and Valiant served in battles as varied as the attempt to force the Dardanelles, the Battle of Jutland, the Battle of Cape Matapan, and the final offensives against Japan in the Pacific.
