EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the HMS Delhi, a British Danae-class cruiser, at anchor in Alexandria during World War II. The Delhi, with the pennant number D47, served as Admiral Cunningham's flagship from 1940 to 1941. The image showcases the ship's impressive silhouette against the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea, with Alexandria's harbor and cityscape visible in the background. The HMS Delhi was one of the most modern and powerful cruisers of the Royal Navy at the time, boasting a main armament of twelve 6-inch guns and a top speed of 35 knots. Its presence in Alexandria was crucial during the early stages of the war in the Mediterranean, as the British sought to protect their vital sea routes and interests in the Middle East. The photograph transports us back to a time of global conflict and historical significance. The 1940s were a pivotal decade in world history, marked by the escalating violence and upheaval of World War II. The image of the HMS Delhi at anchor in Alexandria serves as a poignant reminder of the naval might and determination of the Allied forces during this tumultuous period. The HMS Delhi's service in the Mediterranean during World War II is an important chapter in the history of the British Navy and the wider global conflict.
