I didn't get to the IWM in London. I understand the guns are off of the U.S.S. Texas. I did get to see H.M.S. Belfast up at Thames Pool. Very nice, imo. |
USS Texas! Do me a favour! They're British 15 in. naval guns, one from the WWI Revenge-class battleship HMS Ramillies, the other from the Revenge-class battleship HMS Resolution, later from the monitor HMS Roberts
Hands up all those who know what a monitor is - apart from being the thing you look at when you're typing your reply to this. |
I used to volunteer at the USS Texas.
I know exactly what a monitor is... a very low freeboard platform with a big ass gun mounted on it. Stupid things really especially when you send out in to the ocean like the Brits tried to...
