Warship Pictures.

[cally]

Sorry - I should have posted this in a new thread which I have done here!


Large naval picture libary
If anybody here is ever looking for a picture of a warship from 1880-1970, I have a huge library at my disposal and would always be happy to send what I have on that ship either by email or post here.

No matter how rare I can probably help.

Hello Cally,
Thanks for your kind offer.
I would be very interested in a picture of HMS Rodney.
Many thanks,
D

Ed: Thanks anyway for the offer. No longer required.

Thanks very much Hoggene! Much appreciated.

Why I was interested ...

6 JULY 1944 ST MARTIN DES ENTREES
“Swanning” was prohibited for the next few days in the area NORTH of CAEN and 32 Brigade, as preparations were being made for a large attack there. Parties of Guardsmen and sailors from HMS RODNEY could still visit TILLY and its neighbourhood, however.
We were able to get some loaves of white bread from HMS RODNEY, in return for the “conducted Tours” a very welcome change from dry biscuits.

7 JULY ST MARTIN DES ENTREES
2300hrs
We could see quite clearly the bomber attack on the German positions NORTH of CAEN - the prelude to an attack by 3 Divisions at first light.

8 JULY 1944 ST MARTIN DES ENTREES
04.55hrs
The barrage for the attack started: and could be heard easily by us.
Unfortunately HMS RODNEY had to leave the coast, as her guns were no longer of any use to the battle, and we missed the chance of going aboard.

Colly, I would be delighted if you could find in your collection a photo of the destroyer HMS Thracian , she fell into Japanese hands when she ran aground in the fighting for Hong Kong - my father eldest brother was attached to her for a time.
Thank you.

Colly, thanks for offer, for which I would like copies of HMS/m H.49 and also if possible HMS ELFIN Aka also NETTLE.
Most grateful if you can find.

Hoggene,

Great pictures of HMS Rodney, both her and HMS Nelson were formidable ships with all the main armament forward.

As a young boy I was told that the main guns were all forward as the RN would always be attacking and so only need the big guns forward!

Regards
Tom

Tom,
couple of pic's HMS Nelson, you're right all her main guns faced forward, have info of her armour somewhere.
Ken.

More on HMS Nelson.
