Fact 37: How many Queen Elizabeth-class battleships were made?

There were going to be 6 but they only made 5.
They were called: Warspite, Barham, Queen Elizabeth(named after the 1st not the 2nd), Valiant, Barham and the sixth was going ot be called Agincourt.

The Queen Elizabeth-class battleship were a group of five super-dreadnoughts (this means basically they were built especially for ww1), they were built for the Royal Navy during the 1910s. These battleships were higher-ranking in firepower, protection, and speed compared to their Royal Navy predecessors the Iron Duke.
 although the Queen Elizabeth class battleships were only capable of doing 2 knots (this is 3.7 km/h) faster than the German battleships (class 5:2). The Queen Elizabeths class battleships are widely regarded and known as the first  genuinely fast battleships of their day. 4:Warspite, Barham, Queen Elizabeth, Valiant, were scraped.

Barham was lost to U-boat attack in 1941

Agincourt was Cancelled, August 1914
