<!-- ''Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armaments separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips on preserving survivability for the "Usage in battles" section. If necessary, use a graphical template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.'' -->

== History ==
 
===[[wt:en/news/7375-development-hms-marlborough-the-iron-duke-en|Devblog]]===
 
Designed under the 1911 build program, the Iron Duke class of British super dreadnoughts were considered repeats of the preceding King George V class, but featured a reinforced to 6 inch (152mm) secondary battery and improved protection. HMS Marlborough was the second of four ships of this class to be laid down in January 1912, following HMS Iron Duke - the lead ship of the class. HMS Marlborough was launched in October of the same year and subsequently entered service with the Royal Navy in June 1914, just prior to the outbreak of The Great War.
 
 
During WWI, HMS Marlborough faced her most fierce engagement during the Battle of Jutland in 1916. Throughout the battle, HMS Marlborough fired off more than 160 primary battery shells, the most from the battleships of the Grand Fleet’s main forces in this battle. In return however, HMS Marlborough also suffered heavy damage from a torpedo launched by a German warship. As a result of the damage, HMS Marlborough was returned to drydock for extended repairs for several months before rejoining the ranks of the Grand Fleet.
 
 
In the remaining two years of the war, HMS Marlborough didn’t participate in any large operations. After the war however, the battleship took part in the Russian Civil War against the Bolsheviks and evacuated Russian nobility and civilians from Yalta.
 
 
After the signing of the London Naval Treaty, HMS Marlborough was destined for scrapping. However, before the ship could meet its fate in 1932, HMS Marlborough was used extensively as a test ship on which several weapons tests were carried out, the results of which helped shape the design of subsequent British capital ships.
