'''''Limnos''''' (sometimes Lemnos) ([[Greek language|Greek]]: '''''Θ/Κ Λήμνος''''') was a 13,000 ton [[Mississippi class battleship|''Mississippi''-class]] Greek [[battleship]] (''θωρηκτό'') named for a crucial naval [[Naval Battle of Lemnos|battle]] of the [[First Balkan War]]. Laid down for the [[United States Navy]] in [[1904]], she served in that navy as the [[USS Idaho (BB-24)|USS ''Idaho'' (BB-24)]] from [[1908]] until [[1914]], when both ''Mississippi''-class ships were purchased from the United States by Greece. Taken over at Newport News, [[Virginia]], late in July of that year, the ship was seized by [[France]] along with the rest of the Greek Fleet in [[1916]] due to Greece's neutrality in [[World War I]] (see the [[National Schism]]). When the Greek Prime Minister, [[Eleftherios Venizelos]] was re-established as head of the entire country in June 1917 and Greece entered the war on the side of the [[Triple Entente|Entente]], France turned both battleships over to the Royal Hellenic Navy, where she served in World War I and in the [[1919]] [[Allies of World War I|Allied]] [[Crimea|Crimean]] expedition in support of [[White movement|White Russian]] forces, along with ''Kilkis'', [[Greek Destroyer Leon|''Leon'']] and [[Greek Destroyer Panther|''Panther'']] under the command of Rear Admiral G. Kakoulidis, RHN. During the [[Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922)|Asia Minor Campaign]], she was flagship to the Second Fleet, based in [[Smyrna]], under Rear Admiral G. Kalamidas RHN, her mission being the surveillance of the Black Sea, Dardanelles and Asia Minor coasts. In 1926-28, she underwent boiler repairs. In [[1932]], her armament was removed and employed as a coastal battery on the island of [[Aegina]]. She was sunk in the [[Salamis Island|Salamis]] channel by [[Stuka]] dive bombers on [[April 23]], [[1941]], during the [[Battle of Greece|German invasion of Greece]]. Her wreck was salvaged for scrap in the 1950s.
