Laid down: 25 Jan, 1915[3]

H.M.S. Renown was the lead ship in her class of "large light cruisers", which were essentially battlecruisers.

Service

Renown was completed in September, 1916, too late to participate in the Battle of Jutland. She never saw combat in the war, though her sister H.M.S. Repulse fought in the Second Battle of Heligoland Bight.

Renown paid off at Portsmouth on 1 November, 1920.[7]

Alterations

Renown was completed with her main battery director in place, but had her secondary battery director system installed in October, 1916 — one month after she entered service.[8]

Captains

Dates of appointment are provided when known.
