H.M.S. Bulwark was a pre-dreadnought battleship of the Royal Navy.
Service
Bulwark commissioned at Devonport on 18 March, 1902, under Captain Frederick T. Hamilton, to relieve Royal Oak in the Mediterranean, where she would become flagship of the Commander-in-Chief.[6] On 1 May Admiral Sir Compton E. Domvile hoisted his flag in her, before going on leave.[7] She recommissioned at Devonport under Commander Edward M. Phillpotts, acting Flag Captain to Admiral Lord Charles Beresford. In May, 1905, Captain Osmond de B. Brock was appointed in command. Paid off in March, 1907, Bulwark was recommissioned as flagship of Rear-Admiral Frank Finnis, Rear-Admiral in the Nore Division, Home Fleet. Captain Bertram M. Chambers took command, with the crew from the paid-off battleship Resolution.
On 4 June, 1912, Captain Herbert Chatterton commissioned Bulwark at Chatham, for service in the Fifth Battle Squadron.[8]
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.[9] She apparently did not have this equipment in December, 1912, though such gear may have become standard equipment for battleships sometime afterward.[10] In mid-1913, this gear was redesignated as Type 3.[11]
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 2 minute, 2 seconds, later improved to 1 minute 35 seconds. The best time was achieved by Cressy at 50.75 seconds, though 2:30 was more typical.[12]
Alterations
In 1913 it was approved that Bulwark receive a Mark III Dumaresq, Pattern 760. Having been supplied with the Mark III variant, she was to surrender a Mark I instrument.[13]
