This print showcases the illustrious HMS Renown, a renowned-class battle-cruiser that etched its name in history during the Battle of Narvik. The diagram provides an intricate depiction of this majestic warship which valiantly fought against the formidable Scharnhorst amidst a treacherous snowstorm. Published in 1940 as part of British Warships, this archival gem offers a glimpse into the past and highlights the technological marvels that adorned the HMS Renown. Two mighty 15-inch guns dominate its turrets, while an armoured conning tower and control tower stand tall, overseeing every strategic move. The range finder and director tower ensure precise targeting even in adverse conditions, complemented by searchlights piercing through darkness. Streamline funnels and enclosed steampipes add to its sleek appearance, exuding power and agility. Noteworthy features include cranes for hoisting aircraft onto its deck and twin AA guns shielded within protective covers. Quadruple screws propel this British warship forward with unwavering force. As a proud vessel of the Royal Navy, HMS Renown played a pivotal role in naval warfare during World War II's Norwegian Campaign. This historical illustration captures not only its grandeur but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience amidst turbulent times. Transporting us back to the 20th century, Hilary Morgan's remarkable work immortalizes this iconic ship forevermore.
