HMS Devastation turret ship of Royal Navy

HMS Devastation was the first of two Devastation-class mastless turret ships built for the British Royal Navy, This was the first class of ocean-going capital ship that did not carry sails, and the first whose entire main armament was mounted on top of the hull rather than inside it, For their first fifteen years, they were the most powerful warships in the world.
