Battleship HMS Duke of York running full power trials, 1 November 1941. She recorded 28.6 knots with an initial displacement of 42,970 tons
HMS Duke of York's forward turrets, 9-11 December 1941
HMS Howe steaming at full speed, August 1942. Note her "A" turret being trained to port, probably to keep it from being flooded due to the adoption of the low bow sheer.

USN:
Tugs attempt to free USS Missouri (BB-63), which had run aground on Thimble Shoals, Virginia, on 17 January 1950
The USS Missouri grounding occurred 17 January 1950 when the battleship USS Missouri (BB-63) ran aground while sailing out of Chesapeake Bay. No one was injured, but the battleship remained stuck for over two weeks before being freed from the sand. The ship was so damaged that she had to return to port and enter dry dock for repairs. After the battleship was freed, a naval court of inquiry found Captain William D. Brown and a handful of other naval officers guilty of negligence.

RN:
Trafalgar-class nuclear-powered fleet submarine HMS Trenchant (S-91) seen in 1999. She was being painted with an experimental light blue colour to reduce visual detection from above in North Atlantic waters, although this idea was eventually abandoned, and the submarine returned to her original black colour.
