HMS King George V (His Majesty's Ship King George V) is the second British battleship of this name (the first was in 1911). She was laid down as the lead ship of the new series in 1937. Participated in the battles of the Second World War.
Traditionally, the name of the first battleship of the new series was given in honor of the monarch who was to subsequently take the throne, so she was originally named "King George VI" (in honor of George VI). However, the King instructed the Admiralty to name the ship after his father, George V. King George V was built by Vickers-Armstrong at the Walker Navy Dockyard, near Newcastle upon Tyne. It was laid down on January 1, 1937, launched on February 21, 1939 and entered into service
