HMS Warspite should have been saved! 🇬🇧🏴

Your comments are spot on. When visiting the HMS Belfast on a tour to Europe with my then 17-year-old son in 2005, we had the opportunity to experience their recreation of the fight against the Bismarck. Comparing Paris to London he asked me what the historical difference was between the two. I replied, "Paris was built to resemble the center of an Empire, London was the center of an Empire."

The Victoria Cross is the only award issued in the United Kingdom that cannot be withdrawn. You can even wear the Victoria Cross if they hang on The Gallows.

Tanks for the episode ;)

My wife Marianne grew up in the Tower of London between 1949-1959, being the eldest daughter of WO 6458484 RW Friend of 1st Bat. Royal Fusilers stationed there. We both worked in the HQ office of Ministry of Transport in Southwark, close to where the Globe Theatre was rebuilt. Now that’s history which deserves to be remembered.

I loved going to the imperial war museum. It takes a few days to take it all in.

Sir, you are very good at finding the root causes of historical events. Well done, that man!--Bob Bailey in Maine, USA

My dad was the last Chief Shipwright on Belfast before she paid off. His workshop is on the starboard waist.

Thank you for these, History Guy.

HMS Belfast is indeed aTown Class, but of a Sub-Class, Improved Southampton Class, along with her sister HMS Edinburgh. My Dad served on HMS Sheffield as a `Bootneck`!

I've lived in London all my life and have never seen anyone wearing a bowler hat. I think they went out of fashion in the 50s, as did hats in general.

One of your best vids👌🏻🏆

The US Navy ship used in this video was the USS Canberra CAG-2 which was a Baltimore class heavy cruiser (Not light cruiser). Baltimore-class heavy cruisers were a large class of heavy cruisers. The Canberra's, several HMAS Canberra's, and two USS Canberra's have interesting and close name and service connections. Connecting Australia and the USA Navies. I served on the CAG-2 two Med Cruises, several contacts with Russian military assets, Cuban Missile Crisis, President Kennedy's mid Atlantic Conference in Bermuda, and several humanitarian missions.
