HMS Howe was built as a 110-gun screw first rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched 13 March 1860, but never completed for sea service (and never served under her original name) as she had already been made obsolete by the first ironclad battleships.
The highest number of guns she ever actually carried was 12, when she finally entered service as the training ship Bulwark in 1885.
Howe was named after Admiral Richard Howe. She was renamed a second time to Impregnable on 27 September 1886. The ship was sold in 1921.
