Khaki Posted 22 November , 2014 Share Posted 22 November , 2014 As I understand it, HMS New Zealand was a battle cruiser and was engaged at 'Jutland', was the HMS Zealandia a different ship or the former renamed. confused ! khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiegeGunner Posted 22 November , 2014 Share Posted 22 November , 2014 Zealandia was an Edward VII-class pre-dreadnought battleship, originally named New Zealand, but renamed Zealandia in 1911 in order to free up the name for the new battlecruiser HMS New Zealand.

Khaki Posted 22 November , 2014 Author Share Posted 22 November , 2014 Thanks SG, I had read that there was some renaming involved, but I wasn't sure if it was the B.Cruiser that was later renamed, that's cleared up. khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikB Posted 22 November , 2014 Share Posted 22 November , 2014 BC HMS New Zealand had a busy war - take a look at Wikipedia:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_New_Zealand_(1911) ...but was hit only once and suffered no casualties.
