Default the last battleship built-only Lion class vessel

HMS VANGUARD HMS Vanguard starred in Sink the Bismark! Just before decommissioning, Scenes for the 1960 film Sink the Bismarck! were filmed aboard, with Vanguard being used to depict interiors of the bridges, Admiral's Quarters and gun turrets for Hood, Bismarck and King George V. On 9 October 1959 the Admiralty announced that Vanguard would be scrapped, as she was considered obsolete(filled with asbestos for artic operations) and too expensive to maintain. She was scrapped on 7 June 1960.; The final battleship to be launched in the world-she was the last battleship to be scrapped...PITY IMHO

My great grand mother washed down the salt off the PBY's when they landed in Corpus Christi Bay NAS back in the 1940's.

Great pictures everyone, the one with the german U-boat stranded is a priceless look at the people of the day, even little children.

I bet some still remember that day.

Carry on:
