France:
Battleship Paris, trial at full steam, Aug 1, 1914
The launch of battleship Richelieu, Brest, morning of 17 January 1939; due to the insufficient dimensions of the slip, she was missing the first forty-three metres of her bow and the last eight metres of her stern, that were fitted afterwards

Brazil:
Ironclad "Aquidabã" off the US coast, [c] irootoko_jr
Aquidabã (Portuguese: [akidaˈbɐ̃]), anglicized as Aquidaban, was a Brazilian ironclad battleship built in the mid-1880s. The ship participated in two naval revolts; during the second she was sunk by a government torpedo boat. After being refloated, Aquidabã was sent to (Germany) for repairs and modernisation. During a routine cruise in 1906, the ship's ammunition magazines exploded, which caused the vessel to sink rapidly with a great loss of life.

USN:
A Navy Mark V special operations craft, a 50-ton, 82-foot-long speed boat used to insert and extract SEAL combat swimmers in and out of high-threat areas, is squeezed into a C-5 Galaxy aircraft from the 349th Air Mobility Wing, Travis Air Force Base, California, with only inches to spare. Not only do the loadmasters manage to wedge the boat aboard as well as the 18-wheel tractor trailor it sits on, but they also fit in a "deuce-and-a-half" truck (not shown), and a High-Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) and trailer (not shown). The Mark V and its trailer were constructed with the C-5 and rapid global mobility in mind. 10th Jan 1999

Germany/USN:
4 June 1944 The U.S. flag flies over the German naval ensign, with U-505's periscope serving as the flagstaff. Taken soon after the submarine's capture. Note the hoses running from U-505's fairwater, indicating that she is still being dewatered. USS Guadalcanal (CVE-60) is in the background, with several TBM Avenger bombers parked on her flight deck. Photo is dated 6 June 1944. Official U.S. Navy Photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives.

"Victory Breaks the Enemy Line" by Geoff Hunt
Trafalgar, 21st October 1805. The climactic moment of the career of Victory as Nelson drives her into the French and Spanish line at Trafalgar, her sails already rent by the unreturnable fire she endured during the long approach to the enemy line.
Victory is about to pass under the stern of the French flagship, Bucentaure. The port broadside of Victory, about to be unleashed, is thought to have dismounted twenty guns and killed or wounded four hundred men, virtually eliminating Admiral Villeneuve”s flagship from the battle. Entering from the left is the 74-gun Redoutable; from this ship was fired the shot that killed Nelson.
