HMS Roberts – Historical Background

HMS Roberts was a British monitor that entered service with the Royal Navy in 1941. Specially designed for providing fire support during amphibious operations, this ship was equipped with two powerful 381 mm guns. It took part, among others, in Operation Torch (the Allied landings in North Africa), as well as the famous Normandy landings during Operation Overlord in 1944, supporting the massive Allied invasion of the French coast with its firepower. HMS Roberts served until the end of the war, and after it was over, was scrapped between 1965 and 1966.
