A FLEET SEASCAPE
To the left a group of destroyers are gathered round a parent ship. To the right is the beginning of an imposing line of battleships.
THE CREW AT A SMALL GUN ON A BATTLESHIP
From this point of view the shield partly hides the muzzle of the gun. The gun crew are listening to instructions. Note the “Navy Warm” worn by the figure in the middle: often, when the weather is “fine” from the landsman’s point of view, it is still bitterly cold on the North Sea. Two larger guns can be seen protruding from their turret in the deck below.
