My next target are torpedoes, Mk IV, VII and VIII British and Mk 14 and 15 USN, I know there are some of them displayed either in the Naval Polythecnic Academy or on the Maritime Museum.

There is also, if I remembber correctly, a 14" shell from Latorre displayed somwhere.

Anyway, I´m surprised and very flatered by the anwsers, thanks a lot to you all on this forum.

There is actually a Chilean 6inch gun from the Latorre/Canada in the UK. The Chilean chaps being jolly decent donated it to support the restoration of the M33, a WW1 6inch gun monitor. You can see her in Portsmouth next to HMS Victory, resplendent in her WW1 dazzle paint. Not sure if she is open to the public yet though

Thanks, I was not aware of it, tough it is perfectly normal given the long and prosper relationship within both of our navies.

Good link too
