See the Royal Oak

[Paul_IronCoffin]

I agree, that image is extremely impressive.

Believe it or not, I met my wife in a pub called Royal Oak

Just like a Ghost Ship!

[Jimbuna]

Yeah, there are few ships depicted like that due to the advances in sonar imagery equipment

This has an eerie beauty to it! Thanx for the pic!

Beutifull work...thanks!

I had the pleasure of diving on the HMS Hood in Portland harbour before it was put off bounds to divers. Before anyone starts abusing me, it was a previous HMS Hood - the Dreadnought Battleship that was deliberately sunk as a blockship in 1914: http://www.nasportsmouth.org.uk/proj...nd_map2004.php

I've also managed to get to the landing craft but haven't yet managed the M2, a submarine aircraft carrier.

That Hood was a PRE-Dreadnought battleship. It was the ninth ship of the eight-ship Royal Sovereign class. The 13.5" guns carried by the class had to be housed in open barbettes, as turrets would have made them top heavy. Hood was built to carry turrets, but to save the top-weight she had a very low freeboard fore and aft, making her a very wet ship.
