HMS Repulse

HMS Repulse was a wooden-hulled, central-battery ironclad built for the Royal Navy (RN) during the 1860s. She was laid down as a 91-gun, second-rate Bulwark-class ship of the line, but work on the ship was suspended until the performance of earlier conversions from wooden ships of the line to ironclads could be assessed. Construction resumed in 1866 and she was completed in 1870, the last British wooden-hulled battleship to be completed. Repulse was assigned as a guard ship in Scotland for two years before she became the flagship of the Pacific Station in 1872. The ship returned home in 1877 and was placed in reserve upon her arrival. During this voyage, she became the only British ironclad ever to round the Horn under sail. Repulse was re-commissioned in 1881 as a guard ship. She was reduced to reserve in 1885 and sold for scrap in 1889.
