HMS Bulwark was a pre-dreadnought battleship of the Royal Navy. Of the London Sub-Class, she formed part of the backbone of the navy before the advent of the dreadnought battleship in 1906.

She commissioned at Devonport in March, 1902 under Captain F.T. Hamilton for duty in the Mediterranean, where she flew the flag of Admiral Sir C.E. Domville from 1 May. She recommissioned at Devonport under Commander Edward M. Phillpotts, acting Flag Captain to Admiral Lord Charles Beresford. In May, 1905 Captain O.de B. Brock was appointed to command.

Chambers took command, with the crew from the paid-off battleship Resolution.
