HMS RaglanOn 3 November 1914, Charles M. Schwab of Bethlehem Steel, England offered Winston Churchill, then First Lord of the Admiralty, the use of eight 14-inch (356 mm)/45 cal BL MK II guns mounted in twin gun turrets, originally destined for the Greek battleship Salamis for Royal Navy use. The Royal Navy immediately designed a class of monitors, specific for shore bombardment, to use these turrets. HMS "Raglan" carried one of these turrets.
