That looks like Repulse, so guess its her being hit..

Except that it's at night, and a surface action. I'm saying USS Houston and HMAS Perth at Sunda Strait.

Chikuma, off Midway?

My ignorance is revealed You can see its the same paint job.


HMAS Perth

And the Houston's tripod masts are extremely distinctive...

Great looking painting...thanks! I just read about that action in the book Ghost Ship. Takes a really good artist to do those night scenes.

Correct. This follows the exhibit. Very sobering.

THAT is one heck of a set of paintings!

...anyone know what /c and /o mean after some of the rataings?...

edit: i guess they are all /c...

"class", maybe? As in Y3/c = "Yeoman 3rd Class".

Is just guess.

It would be a correct one.

S2 means Seaman 2nd class which would equate with a modern Seaman apprentice. S1 is Seaman (same as today , except it's written as Seaman.No class!). QM is a quartermanster , as it is today.
