Admiral Graf Spee by Ivan Berryman. Showing visible signs of her tangle with British cruisers at the Battle of the River Plate, the German pocket battleship Graf Spee slips into the neutral waters of the Montevideo roadstead for light repairs. This was to be the last haven for the Graf Spee which was later scuttled at the harbour mouth, her commander Kapitan zur See Langsdorff believing a large British fleet to be waiting for attempted escape into the South Atlantic. |
Tribute to the Royal Navy Trawler Crews - HMS Arab by Ivan Berryman. Having departed the Namsen Fjord in Norway, on a course home to England across the North Sea, HMS Arab was intercepted by a Heinkel He.115 and ordered to sail due east or be attacked. His orders ignored, the German pilot began a series of passes over the trawler, raking the small vessel with continuous fire from both of its guns. The gallant crew of the Arab returned fire with all Lewis and Oerlikon guns blazing, the Heinkel being mortally wounded as it made a low pass across the bow of Arab, finally plunging into the sea some two miles astern of the trawler who continued, without further incident, to her destination at Scapa. |

Captain Harveys HMS Temeraire tries to pass HMS Victory at the beginning of the Battle of Trafalgar by Ivan Berryman. 21st October 1805. As Admiral Nelsons flagship leads the British fleet towards the Franco-Spanish line, Captain Harveys Temeraire tries to pass the Victory in order to be the first to break the enemy column. Harvey was discouraged with a customry rebuke from Nelson and duly fell into line behind the flagship. The enemy can be seen spread along the horizon whilst, to the right in the distance, the leading ships of Admiral Collingwoods fleet can be seen spearheading a separate assault to the south. In the light airs preceding the battle, much sail was needed to drive the British ships towards the enemy line. HMS Victory, nearest, has royals and stunsails set and is making good way, her furniture boats strung behind in readiness for battle. On her poop deck, officers prepare to run up a signal. |
Neptunes Wrath by Ivan Berryman (PC) The Battle of Trafalgar, 21st October 1805 and HMS Neptune, having raked the French flagship Bucentaure, found herself alongside the largest warship in the world, the Spanish Santisima Trinidad, a four-decked leviathan of 130 guns. Captain Thomas Frances Freemantle positioned Neptune such that first the mizzen and then the main masts of the Spanish flagship came crashing down under the British ships relentless fire. By 2.30pm, the foremast of the Santisima Trinidad had also fallen, leaving the ship an uncontrollable hulk. Although taken in tow as a prize after the battle, the red and black colossus foundered in the storm that followed and was lost. HMS Neptune herself survived, towing the badly damaged HMS Victory to safety. |
HMS Astute by Ivan Berryman. One of the most advanced submarines in the world, the nuclear-powered HMS Astute (S119) is depicted making her way into the open sea from her base at Faslane. Commissioned into the Royal Navy on 27th August 2010, Astute is capable of carrying 38 Tomahawk Block IV cruise missiles over virtually unlimited distances. |
HMS Eurydice at Anchor off Cowes by Ivan Berryman. (P) After being re-commissioned under the command of Captain Marcus Augustus Stanley Hare, Eurydice sailed from Portsmouth on a three-month tour of the West Indies and Bermuda on 13th November 1877. On 6th March 1878, she began her return voyage from Bermuda for Portsmouth. After a very fast passage across the Atlantic, on 24 March 1878, Eurydice was caught in a heavy snow storm in Sandown Bay, within sight of the Isle of Wight, capsized and sank. Only two of the ship's 319 crew and trainees survived. Most of those who were not carried down with the ship died of exposure in the freezing waters. One of the witnesses to the disaster was a young Winston Churchill, who was staying at Ventnor with his family at the time. The wreck was re-floated later that same year but had been so badly damaged during her submersion that she was then subsequently broken up. Her ship's bell is preserved in St. Paul's Church, Gatten, Shanklin. There is a memorial in the churchyard at Christ Church, The Broadway, Sandown and the ship's anchor is set into a memorial at Clayhall Cemetery, Gosport. |
The Channel Dash by Ivan Berryman. February 1942 and Viz. Admiral Ciliaxs mighty Scharnhorst leads her sister Gneisenau and Prinz Eugen up the English Channel during Operation Cerberus, their daring breakout from the port of Brest on the French Atlantic coast to the relative safety of Wilhelmshaven and Brunsbuttel. All three ships survived what became known as the Channel Dash, not without damage, but the operation proved a huge propaganda success for Germany and a crushing embarrassment for the British. A number of torpedo boats are in attendance, including Kondor and Falke and the Z class destroyer Friedrich Ihn in the distance. |
Falklands Task Force by Ivan Berryman. Spearheading the Falklands Task Force as it heads south in 1982, the carrier HMS Hermes is shown in company with two Type 21 frigates, HMS Arrow on the left and HMS Ardent in the near foreground. In the far distance, HMS Glamorgan glints in the sun as Type 42 HMS Sheffield cuts across behind Hermes. All pennant numbers were painted out and a vertical black identification stripe applied to all the Type 42s to distinguish them from their Argentine counterparts. |
The attack on the Admiral Hipper by HMS Glowworm by Ivan Berryman. HMS Glowworm, burning severely after receiving hits from the mighty Admiral Hipper, is depicted turning to begin her heroic sacrifice off the Norwegian coast on 8th April 1940. Hugely out-gunned and already crippled, Glowworms captain, Lieutenant-Commander Roope rammed his destroyer into the side of the Admiral Hipper, inflicting a 40 metre rip in its armour belt before drifting away and exploding. 38 British sailors were rescued from the sea and Roope was awarded a posthumous VC for his bravery, the first earned by the Royal Navy in WWII. |
HMS Bristol departing Portsmouth by Ivan Berryman. The only Type 82 destroyer to be built for the Royal Navy, HMS Bristol (D23) was designed for a role that never materialised, the rest of her class being cancelled when the intended CVA-01 class of aircraft carriers that she was intended to escort and defend were themselves cancelled in the late 1960s. Bristol enjoyed a long and varied career however, her size making her a suitable flagship for Operation Ocean Safari 81 before going in for a refit and joining the Royal Navy Task Force in the South Atlantic during the Falklands Campaign. Paid off in 1991, she is now moored permanently at Whale Island, Portsmouth, as a training ship. HMS Bristol is depicted here slipping quietly out of Portsmouth Harbour in the 1970s. |
HMS Esk by Ivan Berryman. (PC) Launched on 19th March, 1934, HMS Esk was converted for mine laying duties at the outbreak of the Second World War. A and Y turrets were removed, as well as both her quadruple torpedo launchers to enable her to carry larger mines. A small sponson was added at the stern to facilitate smooth launching of mines and depth charges. She Operated largely in the North Sea and in Norwegian waters, but was recalled to assist in Operation Dynamo, rescuing allied troops from the beaches of Dunkirk. Back in the North Sea, on 31st August 1940, Esk struck a German mine in an unmarked minefield and, during evacuation, a second explosion broke the ship in two with severe loss of life. She is depicted during operations in Norway, where her duties were to help stop German supplies arriving in Narvik. |

HMS Victory by Ivan Berryman. Arguably the best known warship in the world, and one of only a few survivors of her era, HMS Victory was the flagship of Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson at Trafalgar in 1805, leading the victorious British fleet into battle against the combined French and Spanish navies. Severely damaged during the battle, she remained afloat at Portsmouth into the 20th century and is now preserved there in dry dock for future generations to visit. Extraordinarily, HMS Victory is still a commissioned ship in the Royal Navy and is frequently used for ceremonial duties. |
HMS Hood by Ivan Berryman Pride of the Royal Navy, the mighty Hood rolls majestically in the north Atlantic swell as HMS Prince of Wales holds station off her starboard bow. |
Three Lions by Ivan Berryman. Representing three distinctive types operated by the Royal Navy in the 1980s, HMS Invincible (RO5) is depicted in company with HMS Naiad (F39), an Ikara Leander frigate and the unique Type 82 destroyer HMS Bristol (D23). |
HMS Agamemnon by Ivan Berryman. Considered by Lord Nelson as The finest 64 in the Service - indeed, his favourite ship, HMS Agamemnon was a two-deck third rate warship, lighter and faster than most 74s. Launched at Bucklers Hard in 1781, she saw action in many great battles, among them the Battle of Ushant, the Battle of Copenhagen and Trafalgar, by which time she was a veteran of 24 years service. |
HMS Matchless by Ivan Berryman. The destroyer HMS Matchless is shown turning at high speed off the Devon coast in June 1946. this elegant ship acquitted herself well during the Second World War, being involved in the hunt for - and ultimate sinking of - Scharnhorst in 1943. |
HMS Victorious Departing Faslane by Ivan Berryman. The second of the Royal Navy's Vanguard Class SSBNs, HMS Victorious is shown in the Gareloch, with the naval base of Faslane in the background. |
The Fighting Temeraire by Ivan Berryman. Few ships availed themselves better at the Battle of Trafalgar on 21st October 1805 than HMS Temeraire. Here, she is depicted engaging the French Fougeuex, the two ships inflicting the most terrible damage upon one another in the early stages of the battle. Some crew members can be seen on Temeraire’s foredeck, trying to cut away the fallen fore yard and sail while her fore topsail flaps helplessly above after being set on fire. The acrid gun smoke soon became so bad that Captain Harvey ordered the Temeraire’s larboard guns to stop firing briefly so that he could check that he was not firing on his own ships. Temeraire would eventually take both the Fougeuex and The Redoutable as prizes, at one point having one enemy ship lashed to each side of her hull. As an aside, Temeraire was most likely the only ship at Trafalgar to have no figurehead. Having been built during a more austere period, she lacked much of the decoration of her contemporaries. It is believed, however, that her crew funded a figurehead after the battle from their own prize money, as a ship with no figurehead was considered a ship with no eyes and no soul. A modest crowned head featured at her bow until she was broken up at Beatson’s Yard in Rotherhithe between 1838 and 1839. |
