The battleship HMS Duke of York on her full power trials, 1 November 1941.
The ship had 8 boilers generating 110,000 SHP, driving 4 propeller shafts, allowing the 42,000 tons of ship to move through the water at speeds of 28 knots (32 mph, 52 kph).
Well, this tweet is going well.
I see @thinkdefence has been shopping again.
(Yes this is a very boring car journey.)
Second visit to Chatham dockyard today. Unlike last time, nice not to have to contend with Covid restrictions and by extension be able to go inside the ships!
Goodbye to HMS Westminster, one of two Type 23s I had the pleasure of visiting, back in those halcyon days of 2019.
Farewell Westminster- seen departing this afternoon
