HMS Renown was a small two-decker 50-gun fourth-rate ship of the Royal Navy. She belonged to the Portland class, designed in 1766 by John Williams, the Surveyor of the Navy, and was built under contract by Robert Fabian at Southampton.
Renown was first commissioned in July 1775 under Captain Francis Banks. After completion at Portsmouth Dockyard, she sailed on 30 September for North America. Banks died on 18 June 1777, and command passed to Lieutenant George Dawson, posted captain in September 1777.
She took part in Admiral Richard Howe's notable action against the French fleet under the Comte d'Estaing on 11 August 1778. Two days subsequent to this, she attacked the 90-gun Languedoc, which had been dismasted the day before in a storm, and raked her.
She returned to England in November 1780 and underwent a refit and replacement of her coppering until February 1781, before recommissioning under Captain John Henry and returning to the North American station. The Renown took part in Kempenfelt's Action on 12 December 1781. She finally returned home and paid off out of commission in August 1784. She was fitted as a lazarette at Chatham Dockyard in March 1794, but was eventually broken up at Sheerness in December 1794.
HMSRenown(1798) was a 74-gun third rate launched in 1798. She had been built under the name HMS Royal Oak, but was renamed in 1796. She was on harbour service from 1814 and was broken up in 1835.
HMSRenown(1857) was a 91-gun second rate launched in 1857 and sold to Prussia in 1870.
HMS Renown was the lead ship of her class of battlecruisers of the Royal Navy built during the First World War. She was originally laid down as an improved version of the Revenge-class battleships. Her construction was suspended on the outbreak of war on the grounds she would not be ready in a timely manner. Admiral Lord Fisher, upon becoming First Sea Lord, gained approval to restart her construction as a battlecruiser that could be built and enter service quickly. The Director of Naval Construction (DNC), Eustace Tennyson-D'Eyncourt, quickly produced an entirely new design to meet Admiral Lord Fisher's requirements and the builders agreed to deliver the ships in 15 months. They did not quite meet that ambitious goal, but the ship was delivered a few months after the Battle of Jutland in 1916. Renown, and her sisterHMSRepulse, were the world's fastest capital ships upon completion.
Renown did not see combat during the war and was reconstructed twice between the wars; the 1920s reconstruction increased her armour protection and made other more minor improvements, while the 1930s reconstruction was much more thorough. The ship frequently conveyed royalty on their foreign tours and served as flagship of the Battlecruiser Squadron when Hood was refitting.
Production of a new 12-inch gun was behind schedule and the three battleships planned for the 1892 Naval Programme that were intended to use the new gun had to be delayed. In their stead, an improved Centurion-class battleship design was chosen to keep the workers at Pembroke Dockyard fully employed. No formal requirement for a second-class battleship suitable for use as the flagship on foreign stations or to reinforce cruiser squadrons existed at the time, but the decision to build the ship was strongly influenced by the views of the Controller of the Navy, Rear AdmiralJohn A. "Jacky" Fisher and the Director of Naval Intelligence, CaptainCyprian Bridge who favoured smaller ships with a smaller main armament and large secondary armament. They pressed for additional ships of this type as substitutes for the two other battleships originally programmed, but this was rejected by the Admiralty as there was no demand for additional second-class battleships.
