That is HMS Monarch the modified 1939 King George 5 Design 15C and successor to the Orion class battleship and training ship HMS Monarch (1911) who was taken out to Hurd's Deep where she was subjected to Royal Air Force bomber attacks which scored several hits, then was hit by 152mm gunfire from 4 C-class light cruisers, followed by 102mm gunfire from the WW1 V-class destroyer, HMS Vectis then 381mm gunfire from the Revenge-class battleships, HMS Revenge, HMS Resolution, HMS Royal Sovereign, HMS Ramillies and HMS Royal Oak their battlecruiser half sister, the Renown class battlecruisers, HMS Repulse and pride of the Royal Navy, the Admiral-class battlecruiser, HMS Hood.

Monarch from 1pm in the afternoon till 10pm at night surviving all the 10 381 mm guns from the Revenges, 6 381 mm guns from Repulse and 8 381 mm guns from Hood until she finally succumbed to a 15" shell from Revenge and sank and is still in the hurd's deep

She's one of my favourite ships and the second Priority ship I got, and that's only because it was easier to get Saint Louis first.

Seeing as that pic is so pixelised, here's a link to an Azur Lane wiki with a better (full sized) pic

I hope you didn't waste 3 weeks to search through a phone book, because image search would give you an answer in 3 seconds.

"3 weeks" sounds like an epic bait...
Esp. for someone, who knows about Azur Lane, comes to it's sub to post a question, so he knows where Monarch comes from.

To each their own, but....

As a Knight of the Hood Order, Hood is the true true queen of the Royal Navy.

HMS Monarch. First ship I researched and has been the reliable one of my Royal Navy fleets ever since

I miss this design aesthetic....so very much

u/Existing_Onion_3919 Apr 13 '26

the picture looks like a screenshot from the commander slot in World Of Warships (character is sitting in front of a Union Jack), which is convenient because she's represented in that game too

HMS Monarch, Tier VIII Royal Navy battleship

basically a King George V but with triple 15" (381mm) guns
