Roberts Class


World Naval Ships Royal Navy Monitors Roberts Class

[UP] - Humber Class - Abercrombie Class - Roberts Class

Abercrombie and Roberts were two monitors completed for the Royal Navy during the second world war using 15" guns. The Roberts used the guns from the old Marshall Ney whose machinery had been troublesome from the start and whose hull was found to be unsuitable for re-commissioning during the second world war. The Roberts was used for shore bombardment during the Normandy landings in 1944, and to support the army in the period following this for as long as her guns' range allowed.

Displacement: 7973 tons standard and 9150 tons deep load. Speed: 12.5 Knots.  Compliment: 442 / 460  Armament: Two 15-inch Guns, Eight 4-inch 45 caliber QF AA guns in pairs  and Sixteen 2 pounder Pom Pom (one of eight and two of Four guns). Built by John Brown, on the Clyde, laid down on the 30th April 1940, Launched 1st February 1941, and completed 27th October 1941. HMS Roberts was hit by 2 1100 Il bombs but her armour withstood the bombing although a lot of damage was caused.  HMS Roberts was  used more during world war two than her sister ship HMS Abercrombie.  and in July 1945 an extra eight single 40mm Bofors added. she was finally scrapped at Inverkeithing in July 1965.

HMS Abercrombie was built by Vickers Armstrong  Parsons on the Tyne, Laid down on the 26th of April 1941 and launched 31st march 1943 and completed 5th May 1943,   Displacement: 8536 tons standard and 9717 tons deep load.
