Another view of one of Admiral Fisher's "Untakeable" battleships
This is a sideview of one of Admiral Fisher's "Untakeable" battleships with 16-1oin BLR and 16-4in QF guns. This ship has the clipper bow that some of the "all big gun" ships had. Admiral Fisher decided that he preferred a "ram" look, even though he thought the ram obsolete. Instead the new bow design was an early bulbous bow without a flare. This is my photo:
I spent 11 years on active duty in the navy. Half was as an enlisted man and half as an officer. My Dad had interested me in the navy and ships, when I was young. I found that I was attracted to doing research, regardless of topic, although much of that research has been in the fields of naval and military history. My Dad was also an artist, and got me drawing and painting since I was three. Much of my work consists of portraits of military and naval historical figures, as well as ships and tanks.
