The main artillery armament of the cruiser was eight BL Mk I guns, caliber 381mm. In the interwar period, the cruiser, as the largest ship in the world, was the showpiece of the Royal Navy. After the outbreak of World War II and the defeat of France, she was transported to Gibraltar, where he joined the Force H. On May 21, 1941, accompanied by the battleship "Prince of Wales", she set out on her last voyage. Three days later, British ships clashed in the Danish Strait with the German battleship Bismarck and the accompanying heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen.
