HMS Prince Eugene was one of eight Lord Clive-class monitors built for the Royal Navy in 1915 to conduct shore bombardments during the First World War.

The ship was assigned to the Dover Patrol for the duration of the war and provided cover for the Inshore Squadron during the First Ostend Raid.

The Lord Clive design was derived from that of the preceding Abercrombie class, modified to suit the smaller and lighter main battery.

The Lord Clives had a range of 1,100 nautical miles (2,000 km; 1,300 mi) at a cruising speed of 6.5 knots (12.0 km/h; 7.5 mph).

[6] During a refit from December 1918 to March 1918, Prince Eugene was modified to accept a single 18-inch (457 mm) gun in a limited-traverse mount aft of her funnel.
