A Cross-Section Reveal of H.M.S. King George V: An Intriguing Glimpse into the Heart of a 35,000-Ton Battleship (1946) This cross-section diagram, created by renowned naval artist G.H. Davis, offers a unique and intriguing perspective into the H.M.S. King George V, the flagship of the Pacific Fleet and one of the most modern battleships of its time. Dating back to 1946, this diagram showcases the impressive layout of this colossal vessel, which weighed in at a formidable 35,000 tons. The diagram reveals an intricate labyrinth of spaces and facilities designed to support the crew and maintain the ship's operational readiness. Messes, quarters, and gun rooms are prominently displayed, providing essential living and dining areas for the ship's personnel. However, this diagram also highlights less obvious features that were crucial to the functioning of a battleship. For instance, the butcher's shop is depicted, where skilled butchers prepared fresh meat for the ship's messes. The soda fountain, a popular gathering place for the crew, is also shown, offering a brief respite from the daily rigors of life at sea. Another essential facility, the coppersmiths shop, is represented, where skilled artisans repaired and maintained the ship's vital copper components. This cross-section diagram provides a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of a battleship, offering a glimpse into the complex world of naval warfare during the mid-20th century. The H.M.S. King George V, as the flagship of the Pacific Fleet, represented the pinnacle of naval engineering and design, and this diagram offers a unique window into its intricacies.
