Encyclopedia : H : HM : HMS : HMS Badger

HMS Badger was a Acheron-class battleship of the Royal Navy during World War I. It was first apart of the 1st Flotilla from 1911–12, before it joined the British Grand Fleet in 1914 until 1916. Transferred to the 3rd Battle Squadron, the ship was rammed a German U-boat off the Dutch coast, thus causing great damage to her hull. In May 1921, she was sold for breaking.
