HMS Renown

Geoff, we can always rely on you for top quality and unique photos, thanks buddy

Another nice shot of Renown. If you look very closely at the area between the foremast and the forefunnel, you will see only two 4.5" gun turrets (two little light specks). The center turret (port # 2) was destroyed when port # 3 accidentally fired into it during an air attack in May, 41. This breakdown of a safety mechanism caused Renown's only fatal casualties of the war, 6 dead.
