HMS “Iron Duke” is a British battleship and the lead ship in the “Iron Duke” series, named after Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington. It entered service on 12th March, 1914. During World War I, she participated in the Battle of Jutland against German ships where she came out of the battle without losses. The maximum speed of the ship is 22 knots (40.7 km/h). The ship's armament consists of ten 343 mm cannons housed in five twin-gun turrets. Additionally, the ship is equipped with twelve 152 mm anti-mine guns, two 102 mm anti-aircraft guns, and four 533 mm torpedo tubes.

Dreadnought battleship HMS Iron Duke (named after the Duke of Wellington) was the lead ship of her class in the Royal Navy. Iron Duke took part in significant battles of the First World War, including the epic Battle of Jutland where she was the flagship of the Grand Fleet under the personal command of Admiral John Jellicoe. In War Thunder, Iron Duke relies on powerful armor, an excellent main armament of 10 343mm (13.5 inch) guns and devastating high-explosive and also semi-armor-piercing shells with a large explosive charge.

Like most pre-war battleships, Iron Duke has mediocre air defense, so in battle it is advisable to stay in a group of friendly ships to help protect against aircraft!
