Postcard of a ship launch was in family possessions. Research suggest this may be HMS Warspite 26 Nov 1913 I can see Winston Churchill maybe Mrs (Ivy Muriel) Austen Chamberlain with Austen Chamberlain. Source: dreadnoughtproject.org
Anyone confirm?

Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal could run dry.
Not the first time but hopefully it will get sorted.

Why are my and my wife's Tee shirts developing holes. They are not old. The holes appear in the same place. It’s not moths?

Desktop model of a Fire Control Table and a picture I took of one on HMS Belfast
The model was presented to my father a member of the Naval ship Production Directorate. They designed the Type 21 Amazon Class Frigates and the earlier Type 82 destroyer HMS Bristol #NavalHistory #MaritimeHistory

An extract of my Great Uncle's WW1 diary. An Air Mechanic (Flight Engineer) in Royal Naval Air Service on HMAS Australia.
The ship was involved in early attempts at naval aviation, But only fired its guns twice in anger. See Alt Text for transcript.

Thought I'd share this certificate of Crossing the Line presented to my G'father in 1935 on HMS Laburnum. (an Acacia-class sloop, adapted for escort work, minesweeping and decoy warships). I mapped its route on google.
The certificate has a term which is now considered derogatory so be warned.

I have been wanting to share some pics for some time and as Bluesky seems to be setting sail, here are some taken by my father in June 1948. They show HMS Revenge leaving Devonport Dockyard on its way to being scrapped.
Check out Alt text for more comment.
