HMS Albion

HMS Albion was a pre-dreadnought battleship of the British Royal Navy and a member of the Canopus class. Intended for service in Asia, Albion and her sister ships were smaller and faster than the preceding Majestic-class battleships, but retained the same battery of four 12-inch (305 mm) guns. She also carried thinner armour, but incorporated new Krupp steel, which was more effective than the Harvey armour used in the Majestics. Albion was laid down in December 1896 and launched in June 1898. At the launch a temporary viewing platform was struck by the waves, causing the death of at least 34 people. The ship was commissioned into the fleet in June 1901.
