HMS Bellerophon Four ships of the Royal Navy have been named HMS "Bellerophon" after the hero Bellerophon in Greek mythology, whilst another two were planned:
HMS Bellerophon (1907) The design of the "Bellerophon" class was derived from that of the revolutionary battleship , with a slight increase in size, armour and a more powerful secondary armament. "Bellerophon" had an overall length of , a beam of , and a normal draught of . She displaced at normal load and at deep load. In 1909 her crew numbered 680 officers and ratings and 720 in 1910.
HMS Bellerophon (1907) An experimental fire-control director was fitted in the forward spotting top and evaluated in May 1910. The guns on the forward turret roof were transferred to the superstructure in 1913–1914 and the roof guns from the wing turrets were remounted in the aft superstructure about a year later; all of the four-inch guns in the superstructure were enclosed to better protect their crews. In addition, a single three-inch (76 mm) anti-aircraft (AA) gun was added on the former searchlight platform between the aft turrets. Shortly afterwards, the guns on the aft turret were removed as were one pair from the superstructure. Around the same time another three-inch AA gun was added to the aft turret roof.
HMS Bellerophon (1907) The Grand Fleet sortied on 18 August to ambush the High Seas Fleet while it advanced into the southern North Sea, but a series of miscommunications and mistakes prevented Jellicoe from intercepting the German fleet before it returned to port. Two light cruisers were sunk by German U-boats during the operation, prompting Jellicoe to decide to not risk the major units of the fleet south of 55° 30' North due to the prevalence of German submarines and mines. The Admiralty concurred and stipulated that the Grand Fleet would not sortie unless the German fleet was attempting an invasion of Britain or there was a strong possibility it could be forced into an engagement under suitable conditions.
HMS Bellerophon (1865) HMS "Bellerophon" was a central battery ironclad built for the Royal Navy in the mid-1860s.
