and 4.7-inch (120-mm) rounds fired at her by ships such as the battlecruisers and while she maneuvered under radio control. These tests showed that ships protected as well as Agamemnon, such as the later dreadnoughts, would suffer damage to their upper works if struck by such shells, but would not have their steaming or fighting capability seriously impaired even by numerous smaller-caliber hits. Agamemnon was replaced in 1926 by HMS when this dreadnought battleship was converted to Remote Radio Control. Disposal Agamemnon was relieved as target ship by the dreadnought in December 1926. By then the last British pre-dreadnought battleship in existence, she was sold to J Cashmore of Newport, South Wales, on 24 January 1927 for scrap, and departed Portsmouth Dockyard on 1 March to be broken up at Newport.
