HMS Anson was a King George V-class battleship of the Royal Navy, named after Admiral George Anson.
Built at the Swan Hunter shipyard in Wallsend and launched in 1940, the ship was originally to be named Jellicoe, after the Grand Fleet commander at the Battle of Jutland, but she was renamed Anson in February 1940.
Anson saw service in the Second World War, including duty as an escort ship for Russian convoys. She was scrapped along with the other three survivors of her class in 1957. In 1945 Anson was the flag ship for the 1st battle squadron of the British Pacific Fleet. In 1946 Anson sailed from Sydney to Hobart to collect the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and return them to Sydney.
