Wikipedia, 23 Feb. 2010: under Revenge class battleship (the Revenge-class battleships, listed as Royal Sovereign Class in Jane's Fighting Ships, 1931 edition, were five battleships of the Royal Navy, ordered as World War I loomed on the horizon, and launched in 1914-1916; there were originally to have been eight of the class, but two were later redesigned, becoming the Renown-class battlecruisers and the other, which was to have been named HMS Resistance, was cancelled; despite sometimes being referred to as the "Royal Sovereign-class", official documents from World War I clearly state that the class was known as the Revenge class)
