SUBJECT - Ship, HMS Renown (1916).

HMS Renown was the lead ship of her class of battlecruisers built during ww1. She was originally laid down as an improved version of the revenge class battleships. Her construction was suspended on the outbreak of war on the grounds she would not be ready in a timely manner. admiral lord fisher, upon becoming first sea lord, gained approval to restart her construction as a battlecruiser that could be built and enter service quickly. The director of naval construction (DNC), eustace tennyson-d'eyncourt, quickly produced an entirely new design to meet Admiral Lord Fisher's requirements and the builders agreed to deliver the ships in 15 months. They did not quite meet that ambitious goal, but the ship was delivered a few months after the battle of jutland in 1916. Renown, and her sister hms repulse, were the world's fastest capital ships upon completion.

DATE - july 1939.
