HMS King George V in Royal Navy Service

HMS King George V became flagship of the Home Fleet under Admiral Sir John Tovey following the loss of HMS Hood. The battleship took part in the pursuit of the German battleship Bismarck and was involved in the action that led to Bismarck’s eventual sinking.

The ship later served in the Mediterranean, where HMS King George V supported the Operation Husky landings in Sicily. These wartime operations made her one of the Royal Navy’s significant capital ships during the conflict.
