Came across this feast of eye candy......
Vanguard, Eagle, Indomitable, Indefatigable, Sheffield and other Towns, Dido's, even disarmed Devonshire, Manxman, destoyers and more..

Poor Vanguard looks so alone though! A majestic relic of a bygone era...
It was still Rule Brittania.... Will we ever see the like again?? (I wonder how Queen Elizabeth feels when she looks at the fleet today and remembers what she reviewed back then...)
