Vintage photographs of battleships, battlecruisers and cruisers.

To go directly to photos of a specific ship, simply enter her name in the search window (little white space) at the upper left. Ditto for a type of warship, country, year, etc..., e.g. battlecruiser. You can click on an individual photograph to view it alone against a dark background. When you want to go back to the page, just click outside the picture. Please note that I resize, denoise/despeckle/descratch and generally crop the photos to show mostly the ship itself in the space available.

Battleship HMS Nelson firing her main armament during practice shooting, May 7th 1942.

These gunnery trials and exercises followed her repair due to a torpedo strike in her bow by an Italian warplane on September 27th 1941, between Sardinia and Tunisia in the Mediterranean. This had occurred while she was escorting a Malta resupply convoy from Gibraltar as part of Operation Halberd.
