Timothy Wood Posted September 10, 2014 #3037 Posted September 10, 2014 Anguskirk M33, a British M29-class Monitor, in dry dock at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard NEWS: M33 to be restored by 2015 with more than £2M of lottery and private funding. Armed with two 6 inch (152mm) guns, M33 is an M29-class Monitor built in 1915. Designed with a shallow draught for coastal bombardment, she saw service during the Gallipoli campaign. In 1919 she was sent to Murmansk to relieve the North Russian Expeditionary Force. In 1925 the M33 became a mine-laying training ship and was renamed HMS Minerva. She is now painted in WWI black and white "Dazzle" camouflage Tim egkb 1 Quote Tim Current Build: Future Build: BlueJacket - USS Kidd (Fletcher Class Destroyer) Solid Hull BlueJacket - U.S.S.

Beef Wellington Posted September 14, 2014 #3045 Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Thanks Robhvw - the background gave it away for me, the shore opposite Mystic seaport is very distinctive so put it down to local knowledge!

Robhvw Posted September 14, 2014 #3046 Posted September 14, 2014 Your welcome. I'll be at the seaport tomorrow taking some photos of the sandbagger Annie for Altalena18's build log. Quote
Robhvw Posted September 15, 2014 #3047 Posted September 15, 2014 I believe that is HMS Eagle (1918) before her 1931 refit. Originally ordered by the Chilean Navy as the battleship Almirante Cochrane but purchased by the British Navy and converted to an aircraft carrier. Sunk by U-73 August 11, 1942.

amateur Posted September 19, 2014 #3056 Posted September 19, 2014 Somehow it looks very familiar. She's not a random trawler in disrepair. It looks a bit navy but with a civilian remake... Jan Quote

Robhvw Posted September 19, 2014 #3059 Posted September 19, 2014 The clues helped out a lot. RV Calypso, a minesweeper converted into a research vessel for Jacques Cousteau WackoWolf and Beef Wellington 2 Quote
Beef Wellington Posted September 20, 2014 #3060 Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) Robhvw, you got her. She was originally commissioned into the Royal Navy in February 1943 as HMS J-826, a minesweeper and assigned to active service in the Mediterranean Sea, based in Malta. Subsequently served as a ferry for a brief spell and was then significantly modified for undersea research by Jacques Cousteau where she became famous. Its hoped she will be refurbished and modernized, shes in a pretty sorry state after a collision with a barge in Singapore which caused her to sink.
