The Lord Clive-class monitor, sometimes referred to as the General Wolfe class, were ships designed for shore bombardment and were constructed for the Royal Navy during the First World War.

The slow progress of the war led to the need for more shore bombardment ships and various schemes for using spare heavy guns were considered.

At the forward end was a support about which the gun could train in a limited arc, with a hydraulic cylinder providing ten degrees of traverse each side of the mounting center line.

Work was completed on Lord Clive and General Wolfe but the end of World War I intervened before Prince Eugene was finished.

General Wolfe fired on a railway bridge at Snaeskerke, four miles (6 km) south of Ostend, Belgium, on 28 September 1918.
