H.M.S. Hannibal was a British battleship of the Majestic class, launched in 1896 and sold for scrap in 1920. She was the sixth warship of the Royal Navy to be named after the Carthaginian general Hannibal.

Service

Hannibal was launched on 28 April, 1896, by Mrs. Laurie, the wife of General John W. Laurie, the Member of Parliament for Pembroke and Haverfordwest.[8] She commissioned at Portsmouth on 10 May, 1898, Captain Sir Baldwin Wake Walker, Bart., in command.[9]

In mid-July, 1914, the ship was ordered to take up station in the Humber as part of a force of four Majestic class battleships and two Cressy class cruisers being sent there to be demobilised on the 25th. Her crew was to be transferred to Goliath.[10]

In October 1914, the ship was to be given wo Pattern 1582 Electric Radiators to warm cabins whose stoves could not be used for heating them.[11]

Radio

By the end of 1901, she was fitted or due to receive a "1 to 52" W/T set.[12]

Torpedoes

In 1904, in a competition to investigate how rapidly submerged tubes could be fired four times sequentially, starting with the tube loaded and the bar out, the ship's crew was able to do this in 6 minutes, 59 seconds.  The best time was achieved by Cressy at 50.75 seconds, though times of 3-5 minutes were more typical.[13]
