The 6th Battle Squadron was a squadron of the British Royal Navy consisting of Battleships serving in the Grand Fleet and existed from 1913 to 1917.

History

First World War

August 1914

In August 1914, the 6th Battle Squadron was based at Portland and comprised a number of the older pre-dreadnought battleships it was then assigned to the Second Fleet [1] these included:

  • {{HMS|Lord Nelson|1906|6}}
  • {{HMS|Agamemnon|1906|6}}
  • {{HMS|Russell|1901|6}}
  • {{HMS|Albemarle|1901|6}}
  • {{HMS|Cornwallis|1901|6}}
  • {{HMS|Duncan|1901|6}}
  • {{HMS|Exmouth|1901|6}}
  • {{HMS|Vengeance|1899|6}}
{{HMS|Lord Nelson|1906|6}} and {{HMS|Agamemnon|1906|2}} transferred to the 5th Battle Squadron in late 1914. {{HMS|Revenge|1892|6}} briefly joined the squadron in 1915, before the squadron was broken up. Most of the ships were sent to the Mediterranean.

{{main|United States Battleship Division Nine (World War I)}}

On 13 November 1917, Rear Admiral Hugh Rodman broke his flag in {{USS|New York|BB-34|6}} as Commander, Battleship Division 9. After preparations for "distant service", {{USS|Wyoming|BB-32|6}}, {{USS|New York|BB-34|2}}, {{USS|Delaware|BB-28|2}}, and {{USS|Florida|BB-30|2}} sailed for the British Isles on 25 November and reached Scapa Flow, Orkney Islands, on 7 December 1917. Although retaining their American designation as Battleship Division 9, those four dreadnoughts became the Sixth Battle Squadron of the British Grand Fleet upon arrival in British waters. The 6th Battle Squadron operated from Scapa Flow and Rosyth.

The U.S. Battleships serving in the 6th Battle Squadron were:

  • {{USS|Florida|BB-30|6}}
  • {{USS|Wyoming|BB-32|6}}
  • {{USS|New York|BB-34|6}}
  • {{USS|Delaware|BB-28|6}}
  • {{USS|Texas|BB-35|6}} - arrived January 1918
  • {{USS|Arkansas|BB-33|6}} - replaced USS Delaware July 1918
