Battleship HMS Nelson exercising her guns after the completion of repairs, May 7th, 1942. The repairs were necessary because in Sept 1941 a 30ft x 15ft hole had been blown in her bow by a torpedo from a Regia Aeronautica Savoia-Marchetti SM.84 torpedo bomber

RN:
7 June 1917, the Tribal-class destroyer HMS Zubian was placed in commission. Zubian was constructed at Chatham from the forward end of HMS Zulu (damaged by mine in November 1916) and the rear and mid sections of HMS Nubian (damaged by torpedo in October 1916). The name “Zubian” is a portmanteau of Zulu and Nubian.

Removing no.3 gun from a 14 inch quadruple gun mounting in 24 Shop, Elswick Works, Newcastle upon Tyne, 30 April 1940
‘Workshop of the World’ is a phrase often used to describe Britain’s manufacturing dominance during the Nineteenth Century. It’s also a very apt description for the Elswick Works and Scotswood Works of Vickers Armstrong and its predecessor companies. These great factories, situated in Newcastle along the banks of the River Tyne, employed hundreds of thousands of men and women and built a huge variety of products for customers around the globe.
The Elswick Works was established by William George Armstrong (later Lord Armstrong) in 1847 to manufacture hydraulic cranes. From these relatively humble beginnings the company diversified into many fields including shipbuilding, armaments and locomotives. By 1953 the Elswick Works covered 70 acres and extended over a mile along the River Tyne
HMS Arethusa, the lead ship of her class of light cruisers. 1940-41
Aircraft carrier HMS Illustrious's bow after colliding with aircraft carrier HMS Formidable, 16 December 1941
On the night of 15/16 December, Illustrious collided with Formidable in a moderate storm. Neither ship was seriously damaged, but Illustrious had to reduce speed to shore up sprung bulkheads in the bow and conduct temporary repairs to the forward flight deck.
