Warship Pictures.

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.

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.
james S.

 

Here you go




HMS Thracian, destroyer

 

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.

Hi cally,
just wondering if you have anythong on HMS Bleasdale, ( my late fathers destroyer during the 2nd WW ) he was chief stoker after she was converted to oil, the only pics I have are small and taken after the war just before she was decommissioned.

 

I'd be interested to see a picture of HMS Malcolm during the Dunkirk evacuation (According to the Regimental history, she took my Grandfather's battalion off).

Internet searches seem to show earlier pictures but none from May 1940 (probably too busy).

 

I'd be interested to see a picture of HMS Codrington during the Dunkirk evacuation, this is the shipthat evacuated my father from Dunkirk.

Cheers

Paul

Hi all. Sorry for the delay in replying but unfortunately I had to unexpectedly go away for a few days. It would seem however that Drew [andy] has managed to keep most of you supplied with relevant pictures.

Anyway I will reply to all of you in turn.

dbf was looking for a picture of HMS Rodney. I see a couple have been shown here for you. If you still would like to see more I have over 20 different pictures of her - some of which are very good. If you want to see them then PM me with your e-mail address and I will send them to you.

recce mitch was looking for a picture of HMS Codrington.
As well as the one kindly shown by Drew I have 5 or 6 others which again a PM request with email address if you would like to see them.

mossman was looking for pictures of HMS Bleasdale.
As well as the one already shown which I have in a larger size I have 2 others. Again PM if interested.

richard payne Looking for pictures of HMS Malcolm - same as above. 2 others. This finally leaves:

sadsac before I can proceed any further then I need a bit more information. You say HMS H49 - if 1940 or before then it will be HMS Diana using that pennant, of which I have a couple of pictures.
From 1942 onward the H49 pennant was used by HMS Inconstant. Unfortunately I only appear to have one small picture.

You next mention HMS Elfin - a tender and sometimes used as a torpedo recovery vessel which has now been preserved and which a picture has already been shown in this thread. I have 2 pictures of her including a larger one of the one already posted. During WW2 she was renamed HMS Nettle.

James S was looking for a picture of HMS Thracian. I have the one posted here as well as one other picture.




Anyway any other requests please post here and I will do what I can to help.



Cally.

 

Drew, Thanks for the pic and war diary of HMS Codrington.

Cheers

Paul

 

No worries Paul.....Cally has some more if you are interested.
