Probably not what you want, but here are Resolution, Revenge, Repulse, Renown, Churchill, Dreadnought and Swiftsure at Rosyth (from a link I googled): Link

The main visible difference with these boats is that they tend to have permenant safety railings fitted on the casing, and sometimes the fin is cut away - this is to help offset the boat's centre of gravity rising when equipment is removed from inside the boat (for spares etc)

Specifically i was looking for pictures of Conqueror,K19 and any s-boat.

Kapitan 04-03-06 06:51 PM

You wont find many K19 pictures shortly after the release of the film it was immediatly sent to the breakers, and now no longer exists.

I do have a picture of K19 on my album
