Share Your Favorite Naval Pictures and Videos!

[Wigabee]

I thought making a thread for sharing general naval pictures and videos would be fun for everyone so here it is! Post any cool/interesting images or video links and we'll see what kind of collection we can get started! I'll start it off with a couple of my favorite pictures and a cool video link at the end. I could stare at these for hours....

An Atlantic Convoy in 1942.

Here is the video link I mentioned above. This is amateur footage from an allied Atlantic convoy.

HMS Masculinity was a pansarbåt in the Swedish Navy. It was built in 1901-1903 by Kockums Mechanical Engineering and was the fourth and last ship in honor class. Huvudbetyckningen consisted of two 21 cm guns and sekundärbestyckningen of six 15.2 cm guns. At the beginning of World War II, the ship underwent a major modernization, which include bow was rebuilt, and during the war, she was flagship of Göteborgseskadern. Masculinity utrangerades 1947 and was scrapped in part 1952.

wrecked by German torpedoes and shellfire. With only 155 of her original 353 feet left intact, Javelin was towed back to base. A year later she was back in action.

Built just four mile from my place of abode...

HMS Kelly (pennant number F01) was a K-class destroyer of the British Royal Navy, and flotilla leader of her class. She served through the early years of the Second World War; in Home Waters, off Norway and in the Mediterranean. Throughout her service, Kelly was commanded by Lord Louis Mountbatten. She was lost in action in 1941 during the Battle of Crete. In addition, Mountbatten served as commander (Captain (D)) of the 5th Destroyer Flotilla.
Kelly was built by Hawthorn Leslie and Company at Hebburn on the River Tyne. She was laid down on 26 August 1937, launched on 25 October 1938 and commissioned on 23 August 1939, just 11 days before commencement of hostilities. She was named after Admiral of the Fleet Sir John Kelly.

Even if she didn't do a whole lot and met a rather inglorious end, she's still gotta be worth a mention I reckon!

EDIT: She did manage to launch a plane or two, and had a muntiny, so it wasn't all dull!

Looks like a fine ship. On her way back, she was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine, but luckily the majority of her crew escaped. Unluckily, a large number of them were killed by sharks before they were finally picked up. It was the largest shark attack in history.

Aye mat! Sure would've been a cruzey number in them days. I reckon the crews would've been smokin', drinkin', fishin', generally patrolin' around the tropics wearing shorts and not really havin' too much to worry about!

Thanks guys. I forgot I had taken a video, too. I uploaded it the day I took it. I was hoping my camera would pick up the awesome sound from the engines but it didn't. It was too windy. I was also hoping she would salute the Huron lightship like so many vessels do. I took these pics and video in Port Huron, MI. The bridge in the background is the Bluewater Bridge that goes into Canada. This is the St. Clair River that heads out into Lake Huron. She's heading south, probably with a load of iron ore for one of the auto makers in Detroit. The ship makes regular trips to that area.

Here's the video if anyone's interested.

I just aquired a copy of Norman Friedman's Naval Firepower: Battleship Guns and Gunnery in the Dreadnought Era. Despite the title, it's not about guns or firepower at all, but about the development of Fire Control in various navies, which is why I bought it. When I started looking through it I found something I'd never seen before: A photograph of a battleship actually being straddled by a salvo from another battleship.

The date is March 22, 1923. The target is the ex-battleship USS Iowa (BB-4), now a remote-controlled target drone, and the firing ship is USS Mississippi (BB-41). Iowa has been straddled but not hit, and this is what it really looks like.

I really enjoy seeing all of these great pictures and I'm sure I'm not the only one! Sorry that I've been busy for a while but I have some good news. I recently got back from Bremerton, Washington where I got to tour the USS Turner Joy DD-951 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Turner_Joy ) and see five aircraft carriers in port! Not every day that happens. I have a ton of pictures but I'll share the ones that really stand out for now. Sorry if they aren't premium quality.

Here you can see the tops of three carriers. I couldn't get close to the other two because one is being repaired for active duty. From closest to furthest the carriers are Independence, Kitty Hawk, Constellation, Ranger and Ronald Reagan is in dry-dock getting ready to ship back out. You can see them all on Google maps in Bremerton Harbor along with a ton of old nuclear subs.


http://img837.imageshack.us/img837/4713/20130202172928aircraftc.jpg

Now for the Turner Joy. I have about one-hundred pictures but for now I'll show some of the best in my opinion. I can post more if you want. Over 90% of the ship was accessible. This first picture is a device that could be dropped off the back to fool homing torpedoes.
