Louie da fly Posted May 1, 2020 #237 Posted May 1, 2020 I hope I'm not intruding on this thread, but I found a couple of articles in "Ships and Ship Models" magazine from September 1935 which in hindsight are very interesting: A mention of the launching of the destroyer HMS Glowworm, which later covered itself in glory against the heavy cruiser Hipper. And another which I found very interesting - I wonder what happened to all those bells, and where they are now?
