H.M.S. Barham (1914)
Pendant Number: 87 (Aug 1914)
10 (Jan 1918)
34 (Apr 1918)[1]
Builder: John Brown & Company[2]
Ordered: 1912 Programme[3]
Laid down: 24 Feb, 1913[4]
Launched: 31 Oct, 1914[5]
Commissioned: 1 Oct, 1915
Torpedoed: 25 Nov, 1941[6]
Fate: by U 331 in Mediterranean


Service

Barham was commissioned at Clydebank on 19 August, 1915.[7] Rear-Admiral Hugh Evan-Thomas hoisted his flag in her on 1 October.[8] She joined the Grand Fleet at Scapa from Liverpool on 2 October.[9]

Jutland

Main article: H.M.S. Barham at the Battle of Jutland

Post-War

Barham re-commissioned at Portsmouth on 1 October, 1920.[10]

Re-commissioned on 4 January 1923 at Portsmouth to become part of the First Battle Squadron in 1925.[11]

Paid off into Dockyard Control at Portsmouth on 2 December, 1930.[12]

In 1935, her bell was one of several ships' bells the Royal Navy offered for sale to officers and others interested. It attracted a price of £1-£5, and men were to apply to win one at the fixed price, stating any special attachment or claim they had to the item(s) applied for.[13]

Re-commissioned at Devonport on 30 August, 1935.[14]

On 12 December, 1939 Barham collided with the destroyer Duchess which was escorting her to Belfast. The smaller ship was cut in half, and sank with heavy loss of life.

Differences from Class

Owing to her use as a flagship, by some point Barham had a 9-foot rangefinder for the admiral's use on top of the charthouse. When, late in the war, it was desired to provide an effective additional 9-foot instrument for torpedo control purposes, Barham was to skip getting one on the assumption this instrument would be available for the task on most occasions.[15]

Boats

In July 1914, the ship was appropriated 42-foot motor launch No. 249, though the boat was not yet delivered from the contractor.[16]

Alterations

Barham was completed with director firing installed, as all capital ships were supposed to do after 2 January, 1915.[17]

In December, 1914, Open Director Sights were ordered for all[Inference] her turrets. They were likely in place by her completion.[18]

Her secondary battery directors were installed in July, 1917.[19]

At some point, she and her sisters were also outfitted with Turret Control Tables, although there is no indication whether this was one table per ship, or two in the controlling turrets, or one in all four turrets.[20]

Torpedo Control

Between late 1915 and mid 1917, she was fitted with a Torpedo Control Plotting Instrument Mark II in the T.C.T..[21][22]

In 1919, she was selected to receive one of the first six Renouf Torpedo Tactical Instrument Type Bs and one of the first nine Renouf Torpedo Tactical Instrument Type Fs manufactured by Elliott Brothers.[23]

Captains

Dates of appointment are provided when known.

I am unsure about Walker and Chapman. Walker's Service Record seems less crystalline on his claim.
