HMS Sir John Moore was one of eight Шаблон:Sclasss built for the Royal Navy in 1915 to conduct shore bombardments during the First World War. The ship was assigned to the Dover Patrol for the duration of the war and was sold for scrap in 1921.

Design and description

The Lord Clive design was derived from that of the preceding Шаблон:Sclass, modified to suit the smaller and lighter main battery. The ships had an overall length of Шаблон:Convert, a maximum beam of Шаблон:Convert, and a deep draught of Шаблон:Convert. She displaced Шаблон:Convert at deep load. To improve stability, Шаблон:Convert torpedo bulges were incorporated into the hull. Her crew numbered 12 officers and 182 ratings.[1]

Sir John Moore was powered by a pair of three-cylinder triple-expansion steam engines each driving one propeller shaft using steam provided by two coal-burning watertube boilers. The engines developed a total of Шаблон:Convert and were designed for a maximum speed of Шаблон:Convert, although the ships proved to be significantly slower, with Sir John Moore reaching a speed of Шаблон:Convert during her sea trials. The Lord Clives had a range of Шаблон:Convert at a cruising speed of Шаблон:Convert.[2]
