'''H.M.S. ''Hibernia''''' was the one of eight [[King Edward VII Class Battleship (1903)|''King Edward VII'' class battleships]] completed between 1905 and 1907.  Her service in the Great War was primarily fulfilled with a shifting roster of her sisters in the {{UK-BS|3}}, often serving as the second flagship within the formation.

At 08:00 on 6 November, 1915, she left Rosyth for Milford, viâ the Pentland Firth, Minches, and Irish Sea, in company with {{UK-Albemarle}} and {{UK-Zealandia}}.  They were to encounter horrific weather which would leave ''Albemarle'' a shambles, obliging ''Hibernia'' to escort her into Scapa at 07:30.<ref>Jellicoe Papers.  British Library.  Add MS 49001.  f. 8.</ref>

She returned to 3BS in February, 1916, though she was not again made her second flagship until June, 1916.  As the need for such a quaint Squadron grew more tenuous, motion to disband 3BS commenced with ''Hibernia'' being stripped of her flagship role in October, 1917 before being detached outright for operation "in Home Waters or on detached service."<ref>See [[Third Battle Squadron (Royal Navy)]] for details on her service in 3BS.</ref>

H.M.S. Hibernia was the one of eight King Edward VII class battleships completed between 1905 and 1907. Her service in the Great War was primarily fulfilled with a shifting roster of her sisters in the Third Battle Squadron, often serving as the second flagship within the formation.

Service

As part of the Channel Fleet, Hibernia started a refit on 24 February 1908. She was due to emerge on 29 April.[8]

Re-commissioned at Devonport on 6 January, 1909.[9]

Upon the formation of the Third Battle Squadron in May, 1912, Hibernia was made its second flagship, a role she would play until detached for service with the Mediterranean Fleet in December, 1915.

At 08:00 on 6 November, 1915, she left Rosyth for Milford, viâ the Pentland Firth, Minches, and Irish Sea, in company with Albemarle and Zealandia. They were to encounter horrific weather which would leave Albemarle a shambles, obliging Hibernia to escort her into Scapa at 07:30.[10]

She returned to 3BS in February, 1916, though she was not again made her second flagship until June, 1916. As the need for such a quaint Squadron grew more tenuous, motion to disband 3BS commenced with Hibernia being stripped of her flagship role in October, 1917 before being detached outright for operation "in Home Waters or on detached service."[11]

Hibernia was one of four old battleships made into accommodation ships in Chatham-Sheerness in March, 1918.[12] She was still serving in this capacity when she was paid off in July, 1919.[13]

Radio

At the end of 1909, she was to receive one of eleven Short Distance Radio Sets, to be installed at her next refit behind armour near the fore bridge, intended to supplant flag signaling.[14] In mid-1913, this gear was redesignated as Type 3.[15]
