Biscuit Brown Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 I do apologise. I never saw that. Although, the teeth from that constant crap fake grin could a bloke some damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 No luck with the books, i'm more of a Capital Ship man! Some clues please......is she in a British dockyard? Any famous battles she was involved with?.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Bit of a beast. Whats the big gun on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Ah! I did suspect she was a monitor, small hull, large gun etc....A 'Monitor' is basically a gun platform. Not designed to be particularly seaworthy, and certainly not designed for ship-to-ship combat. It's purpose is as a bombardment platform.....Perhaps the most famous monitors are the Erebus and Roberts. These were off the shores of Normandy on D-Day. The gun from Roberts is on display outside the Imperial War Museum..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Strong Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Looks like it could be about an 8" gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Looks like it could be about an 8" gun←Yeah i think that sounds about right Laurence. I've found brief mentions of her in my books. She was off the shores of Gallipoli apparently...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
