HMS Agamemnon was a dreadnought battleship built for the Royal Navy in the early 20th century. Commissioned in 1908, she served during World War I, mainly in the Mediterranean. Agamemnon participated in the Dardanelles Campaign in 1915, providing gunfire support during the Gallipoli landings. She later saw action in the Adriatic and the Black Sea. After the war, the ship was used for training purposes before being placed in reserve in 1920. Agamemnon was eventually sold for scrap in 1927. The battleship played a significant role in naval operations during World War I and was part of the British fleet's efforts in various theaters of war. Her service history highlights the importance of battleships in naval warfare during the early 20th century and their role in supporting ground operations and maintaining maritime supremacy.
