HMS Egmont

Fort St Angelo was no exception to this, originally stationed next to the Fort in the early 1900s was HMS Cruiser and HMS Egmont (originally HMS Hibernia but renamed in 1904).
It wasn’t until technology became more complex that these facilities became too large to continue afloat and were moved to shore establishments while keeping the ship’s name. In 1913, Fort St Angelo was renamed HMS Egmont while the ship was sailed away and the new stone HMS Egmont became a base for the Royal Navy in the Mediterranean. Due to the location of the base it became a major port for ships in the 20th Century In 1933 renamed as HMS St Angelo
