HMS Iron Duke was a Royal Navy dreadnought battleship, lead ship of the Iron Duke class, named for the Duke of Wellington and built at Portsmouth Dockyard, launched in 1912 and commissioned in 1914. She carried a main battery of ten 13.5-inch guns and twelve 6-inch secondaries and served as the fleet flagship of Admiral Sir John Jellicoe at the Battle of Jutland on 31 May 1916, where she engaged and badly damaged the German battleship SMS König. After the war she was reduced to a training and depot role under the Washington Naval Treaty and spent the Second World War as a base ship at Scapa Flow before being sold for scrap in 1946.
