The guns are the famous 15", the finest naval gun Britain ever produced. They entered service with the Queen Elizabeth class, and armed many others not least the Hood and our last battleship - the superb Vanguard. The latter was built using the turrets taken from the light battle cruisers when they were converted to carriers.

Human madness...why?
There was a Holocaust exhibition when we went. It was ghostly, touching and ruthless. It played haunting stories throughout and showed excerpts from various sources. Brought tears to my eyes. I spent over an hour in that section alone!

Very well done, Ironclad. Now you have wrote this, I remember that's pretty much what the sign said. I distinctly remember the Vanguard and Hood being mentioned in the plaque.

The other thing about those naval guns, they are pointing at or near to, Captain Bligh's house which is almost directly across the road.
It is now 201 years since his second mutiny.........
