Which World War II battleship is most forgotten?
Short answerHMS Resolution is a strong candidate because even people familiar with the R class often overlook her despite the name's distinguished history.
NotesResolution is proposed as a more neglected World War II battleship than Indiana. Revenge, Royal Sovereign, Royal Oak, and Ramillies have more readily remembered histories, while students are described struggling to name the fifth R-class ship. Resolution was nevertheless a long-established naval name. Its battle honours ranged across age-of-sail engagements and later Atlantic and Norwegian service.
