H.M.S. Valiant (1914)
Pendant Number: 34 (Aug 1914)
A6 (Jan 1918)
43 (Apr 1918)[1]
Builder: Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company[2]
Ordered: 1912 Programme[3]
Laid down: 31 Jan, 1913[4]
Launched: 4 Nov, 1914[5]
Commissioned: 13 Jan, 1916
Sold: 19 Mar, 1948[6]
Fate: Scrapped

Service

Valiant was commissioned at Govan on 13 January, 1916, by Captain Woollcombe.[7]

The ship had a pool table, a photo of which is in the Crawford Scrapbook, Liddle Collection, University of Leeds.

In July 1914, the ship was appropriated 42-foot motor launch No. 250, though the boat was not yet delivered from the contractor.[8]

Lieutenant-Commander Brian Egerton served as torpedo officer and first Lieutenant-Commander of Valiant between March 1915 until June 1917.[9]

Jutland

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

She fought at Jutland as part of the Fifth Battle Squadron under Captain Woollcombe in support of the Battle Cruiser Force with her sisters, less Queen Elizabeth.

Sister ship H.M.S. Warspite collided with Valiant and nearly also with Erin on 24 August, 1916 while the squadron was engaged in a night firing exercise without lights. Valiant was in dockyard hands for six weeks and Warspite for three months to make the needed repairs. Captain Phillpotts of Warspite was tried by Court Martial on 5/6 October 1916 on a charge of having hazarded his vessel, and was sentenced to be reprimanded for not having made definite arrangements for the programme. The sentence was cancelled when it was argued that the squadron's Rear-Admiral Hugh Evan-Thomas was responsible for making such arrangements.[10]

Post-War

Valiant re-commissioned at Devonport on 2 February, 1923. By March 1925 she was serving with the First Battle Squadron in the Mediterranean.[11]

She was re-commissioned at Devonport on 26 May, 1927.[12]

The ship re-commissioned at Portsmouth on 2 December, 1930.[13]

Re-commissioned at Chatham on 12 January, 1932 for service with the Second Battle Squadron.[14]

In June of 1933, her bell was one of about 100 surplus bells announced as being for sale at prices ranging from £1 to £10. Preference would be given to those offers from men with a special consideration in the bell in question.[15]

Valiant was re-commissioned at The Nore on 15 August, 1934 for service with the First Battle Squadron in the Mediterranean.[16]

She was transferred to Dockyard Control at Devonport on 1 March, 1937.[17]

Alterations

Valiant was completed with director firing installed, as all capital ships were supposed to do after 2 January, 1915.[18]

In December, 1914, Open Director Sights were ordered for all[Inference] her turrets. They were likely in place by her completion.[19]

Between late 1915 and mid 1917, she was fitted with a Torpedo Control Plotting Instrument Mark II in the TCT.[20][21]

Her secondary battery directors were installed in April, 1917.[22]

When in 1918 it was desired to give each capital ship possible an additional effective 9-foot rangefinder to support torpedo control, Valiant proposed a pair of transversing mountings atop the beef screen, one each side. Vernon did not want the transversing mountings, owing to the loss in efficiency they incurred on the rangefinder.[23]

At some point, she and her sisters were also outfitted with Turret Control Tables, although there is no indication whether this was 1 table per ship, or 2 in the controlling turrets, or one in all four turrets.[24]
