RN:
Royal Sovereign class pre-dreadnought battleship HMS Hood
HMS Renown spring 1917
HMS Glorious showing very narrow after part and flight deck mounting. All Commonwealth capital ships shared this feature and all of those ships rebuilt to aircraft carriers required these type of fittings. The single 4.7" mountings are visible, these are replaced by the twin 4" mountings in the 1938 rebuilding.
Battlecruiser HMS Hood at Vancouver in 1924
Battlecruiser HMS Tiger at anchor off Bangor, Northern Ireland, July 10, 1928

USN:
USS New Jersey (BB-62) anchored in Hampton Roads with crew getting ready for liberty, Sept 7, 1943
14-inch projectiles on deck of battleship USS New Mexico (BB-40), while the battleship was replenishing her ammunition supply prior to the invasion of Guam, July 1944. The photograph looks forward on the starboard side, with triple 14"/50 gun turrets at left. Note floater nets stowed atop the turrets.
Late July, 1944. The Chesapeake Bay, VA, USA. Commissioned into the USN on June 11, battleship USS Missouri has just completed another round of ammo loading amid her shakedown cruise. Eventually, she will enter combat service in January 1945.

Greece:
Type III Hunt class destroyer Adrias with her bow blown away.
On 22 October 1943, during operations in the Dodecanese, while near the island of Kalymnos with the British destroyer HMS Hurworth, Adrias struck a mine. The explosion tore her bow off. The English Flotilla Commander onboard Hurworth ordered Cmdr. Toumbas to abandon ship. Hurworth, while trying to come to Adrias's rescue, also hit a mine and sunk taking 133 men with her. In spite of the damage suffered, Adrias took on the survivors of Hurworth (among them her CO) and managed to reach the nearby coast of Gümüşlük in neutral Turkey with 21 men of her crew dead and 30 wounded. After some minor repairs, the ship sailed on 1 December for Alexandria, despite her missing bow. After a trip of 730 nautical miles (1,350 km), of which 300 were within the range of Luftwaffe's Junkers Ju 88 bombers based in occupied Greece, (the threat of them forced her to sail only at night despite her limited manoeuvrability), she managed to reach Alexandria on 6 December (day of the Feast of St. Nicholas, patron saint of seamen) where she was enthusiastically greeted by the British Fleet and other Allied ships. This achievement was considered a brilliant example of seamanship, and provided a morale boost to the Royal Hellenic Navy and other allied ships in the Mediterranean.
After the liberation of Greece from the Germans, Adrias, with her bow temporarily repaired, arrived in Faliro with the rest of the ships of the Hellenic Fleet. The ship was never fully repaired due to the termination of war operations in the Mediterranean and sailed to England where she was returned to the Royal Navy.
