HMS Raglan

Commissioned June 1915, it went straight to the Dardanelle's (in company with the cruiser HMS Diana) to carry out bombardment duties and became part of the 1st division between September 1915 to January 1916.
 
After the evacuation form the Dardanelle's HMS Raglan served in the Aegean. At Port Said she was involved in operation against the Turks in Southern Palestine, returning to Imbros in January 1917. Along with HMS Abercrombie her duty was to guard against the possible breakout of the German ships Breslau and Goeben forming the 2nd detached Squadron along with some smaller monitors.
 
On the Morning of the 20th January 1918 HMS Raglan was being shelled by accurate fire from the Breslau  soon followed by shots form the Goeben. She quickly became engulfed in Fire and after being abandoned she sank in shallow water. she lost a total of 127 dead during the action. Later the Guns and other valuable equipment was salvaged.
