EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic HMS Warspite, a formidable Queen Elizabeth-class battleship that served in the Royal Navy during World War II. Published in 1940 as part of the British Warships collection, this archival image allows us to delve into history and witness the grandeur of naval warfare. The intricate diagram reveals every detail of this impressive warship, from its director towers and control tower to its range finder and powerful 15-inch guns housed within turrets. The searchlights pierce through the darkness while twin 4-inch AA guns stand ready with their protective shields. A crane is poised for action, capable of hoisting aircraft onto an athwartship catapult. As we explore further, we notice the sternwalk leading towards quadruple screws that propel this vessel forward with great force. The secondary battery consists of mighty 6-inch guns nestled within casemates protected by armoured plating. This illustration reminds us of both the strength and vulnerability inherent in these floating fortresses. Transporting us back to a pivotal era in maritime history, Hilary Morgan's skillful capture brings forth a sense of awe for this magnificent ship's legacy. With its rich historical significance and meticulous attention to detail, this print serves as a testament to the bravery and ingenuity displayed by those who manned such vessels during times of conflict on treacherous seas.
