HMS Howe (1860)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HMS Howe was built as a 110-gun screw 1st rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched 13th March 1860, but never completed for sea service (and never served under her original name) as she had already been made obsolete by the first ironclad battleships. The highest number of guns she ever actually carried was 12, when she finally entered service as the training ship "Bulwark" in 1885. Howe was named after Admiral Richard Howe, later renamed Bulwark, and then renamed Impregnable 27th September 1886. The ship was sold in 1921.
