HMS King Edward VII, named after King Edward VII, was the lead ship of her class of pre-dreadnought battleships built for the British Royal Navy. Armed with a battery of four 12-inch (305 mm) and four 9.2 in (234 mm) guns, she and her sister ships marked a significant advance in offensive power compared to earlier British battleship designs that did not carry the 9.2 in guns. King Edward VII was built at the Devonport Dockyard, and was laid down in March 1902, launched in July 1903, and completed in February 1905.

  • HMS King Edward VII, named after King Edward VII, was the lead ship of her class of pre-dreadnought battleships built for the British Royal Navy. Armed with a battery of four 12-inch (305 mm) and four 9.2 in (234 mm) guns, she and her sister ships marked a significant advance in offensive power compared to earlier British battleship designs that did not carry the 9.2 in guns. King Edward VII was built at the Devonport Dockyard, and was laid down in March 1902, launched in July 1903, and completed in February 1905. The ship entered service with the Atlantic Fleet as the fleet flagship before being transferred to the Channel Fleet in 1907, where she also served as the flagship. The Channel Fleet became the Home Fleet in 1909, where she remained for the next several years. During this period, the fleet was repeatedly reorganized, with King Edward VII ultimately ending up in the 3rd Battle Squadron by 1912, along with her sisters. The ships were sent to the Mediterranean during the First Balkan War to enforce the transfer of Scutari to Albania. Following the outbreak of the First World War in August 1914, the 3rd Battle Squadron became part of the Grand Fleet, where King Edward VII served for the next two years. The Grand Fleet conducted numerous sweeps into the North Sea in the hope of catching German vessels at sea, but rarely found action. On the morning of 6 January 1916, while steaming to Belfast for a refit, King Edward VII struck a naval mine that had been laid by the German auxiliary cruiser SMS Möwe. Attempts to tow King Edward VII to port failed when she took on a dangerous list, so she was abandoned and her crew evacuated to several destroyers. King Edward VII sank later that day. (en)

  • La HMS King Edward VII, chiamata così per il re Edoardo VII, fu la prima nave della sua classe di corazzate pre-dreadnought della Royal Navy. Entrò in servizio nel 1905 con l'Atlantic Fleet come ammiraglia del comandante in capo della flotta (per richiesta del re avrebbe sempre dovuto servire come ammiraglia). Nel 1906 fu resa obsoleta dall'entrata in servizio della rivoluzionaria Dreadnought. Fu raddobbata nel 1907, dopo di che fu assegnata alla Channel Fleet e poi alla Home Fleet. Nel 1912, insieme alle sue navi gemelle, formò il 3rd Battle Squadron. Durante la prima parte della prima guerra mondiale il 3rd Battle Squadron fu parte della Grand Fleet e servì nella Northern Patrol. Nel gennaio 1916 colpì una mina mentre transitava verso un raddobbo a Belfast ed affondò. Tutti tranne uno tra gli uomini dell'equipaggio furono salvati. (it)

  • O HMS King Edward VII foi um navio couraçado pré-dreadnought operado pela Marinha Real Britânica e a primeira embarcação da Classe King Edward VII, seguido pelo HMS Commonwealth, HMS Dominion, HMS Hindustan, HMS Britannia, HMS New Zealand, HMS Africa e HMS Hibernia. Sua construção começou em março de 1902 no Estaleiro Real de Devonport e foi lançado ao mar em julho do ano seguinte, sendo comissionado na frota britânica em fevereiro de 1905. Era armado com quatro canhões de 305 milímetros montados em duas torres de artilharia duplas, possuía um deslocamento de mais de quinze mil toneladas e conseguia alcançar uma velocidade máxima de dezoito nós. O King Edward VII serviu em diversas frotas britânicas nos primeiros anos de sua carreira, primeiro na Frota do Atlântico, depois da Frota do Canal em 1907 e por fim na Frota Doméstica em 1909. Ele foi enviado para o Mar Mediterrâneo durante a Primeira Guerra Balcânica com o objetivo de garantir a transferência de Escodra para a Albânia. Com o início da Primeira Guerra Mundial em 1914, o couraçado passou a integrar a Grande Frota e realizou várias varreduras no Mar do Norte pelo um ano e meio seguinte, praticamente sem incidentes. O King Edward VII acabou batendo em uma mina alemã em 6 de janeiro de 1916 enquanto seguia para Belfast e afundou depois de algumas horas. (pt)
