About HMS Queen Elizabeth - Flagship of the Mediterranean Fleet
HMS Queen Elizabeth was the lead ship of her class of dreadnought battleships and one of the most powerful warships in the Royal Navy during both World Wars.

Queen Elizabeth served as flagship of the Mediterranean Fleet during critical operations in World War II, participating in convoy protection, shore bombardment, and fleet actions against Italian and German forces.
