HMS Agincourt was a Royal Navy ironclad battleship built in 1865. The ship was the largest warship of its time and had a unique design with seven massive gun turrets. It was initially named the Polyphemus but was renamed as Agincourt before its completion. The vessel was armed with a total of 28 guns and had a crew of around 900 officers and sailors. Agincourt served in the Channel Fleet and later in the Mediterranean Fleet during its active service. The ship played a minor role in conflicts such as the 1877 Russo-Turkish War and the 1882 Anglo-Egyptian War. It was eventually decommissioned in 1899 and used as a training ship until being sold for scrap in 1906. Despite its impressive size and armament, HMS Agincourt did not see significant action or leave a lasting impact on naval history.
