HMS Lord Clive was the lead ship of her class of eight monitors built for the Royal Navy during World War I. The ship spent the war in the English Channel bombarding German positions along the Belgian coast. Lord Clive was one of two ships in the class fitted with a single 18-inch (457 mm) gun in 1918, but she only fired four rounds from it in combat before the end of the war in November.https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/hms-lord-clive-british-monitor/ #MaritimeHistory #NavalHistory #HMSLordClive #Monitor #WW1 #RoyalNavy #Warship
