    HMS Royal Oak was a Revenge-class battleship built for the Royal Navy in the 1910s. During World War I she took part in the Battle of Jutland. Shortly after the start of World War II, the ship was sunk by the German U-47 in Scapa Flow on 14 October 1939.

      There are many war memorials in Scotland. In addition to the ship's bell, a "Book of Remembrance" containing the names of all the crew members killed is on display here. iwm.org.uk/memorials/item/memorial/44713
