Yugoslavia:
Submarines Hrabri, Smeli and Osvetnik, from left to right, at Kotor in the 1930s.
The Hrabri was one of the first two submarines to enter service for the Royal Yugoslav Navy, in 1928, built in the United Kingdom. The Osvetnik and the Smeli were later, French-built boats.

All three boats would end up in Italian hands after the occupation of Yugoslavia in World War II. While the Hrabri was deemed obsolete and in poor general conditions, and therefore was not recommissioned and sent to scrap, the other two were commissioned in the Regia Marina, with the names of Francesco Rismondo and Antonio Bajamonti, respectively. Both of them would serve in training roles, and would be lost as a consequence of the Italian Armistice, the former being scuttled by German troops in Corsica on 18 September 1943, after being captured there, the latter being scuttled by its Italian crew at La Spezia on 9 September.

A Japanese Type 99 Aichi D3A1 dive bomber (Allied codename "Val") trails smoke as it dives toward the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Hornet (CV-8), during the morning of 26 October 1942. This plane struck the ship's stack and then her flight deck. A Type 97 Nakajima B5N2 torpedo plane ("Kate") is flying over Hornet after dropping its torpedo, and another "Val" is off her bow. Note anti-aircraft shell burst between Hornet and the camera, with its fragments striking the water nearby.

RN:
HMS Powerful was the lead ship of her class of two protected cruisers built for the Royal Navy (RN) in the 1890s. She was initially assigned to the China Station and then provided landing parties which fought in the Siege of Ladysmith of 1899–1900 during the Second Boer War. After a lengthy refit, the ship was placed in reserve until 1905 when Powerful became the flagship of the Australia Station.
