HMS Howe was an Admiral-class battleship of the Royal Navy, the last of the Admiral-class to be completed. Along with her sisters, Rodney, Camperdown and Anson, she was a progressive development of the design of Collingwood. She carried a main armament of four guns, compared to the guns carried in the earlier ship. While the above-water dimensions of Collingwood were retained in Howe, it was found necessary to increase the draught from to , with a commensurate increase in displacement of some . This meant that when the ship was fully loaded and with full fuel bunkers the armour belt would be virtually completely submerged; it was assumed that combat would not take place until some significant part of the fuel had been consumed, allowing the belt to rise above the waterline.
