HMS Antrim was a 10,850 ton Devonshire-class armoured cruiser of the Royal Navy, built by John Brown & Company and launched on October 8, 1903. Like her sisters, she served in the First World War and survived. After the war she became the first ship to be fitted with an experimental sonar system in 1920. She was sold on December 19, 1922 to Hughes Bolckow, and arrived at Blyth in March 1923 for breaking up.
