| Text for the above items : |
Trident by Robert Barbour. On Sunday October 25th 1992, HMS Vanguard, the Royal Navys first Trident equipped submarine, arrived off the Clyde Submarine Base, Faslane on the Gareloch. She was escorted by a Sea King helicopter from HMS Gannet, the RN shore base at Prestwick Airport, and a mixed surface flotilla, including Defence Police and Royal Marines. |

HMS Hermes by Ivan Berryman. Spearheading the Falklands Task Force as it heads south in 1982, the carrier HMS Hermes is shown in company with two Type 21 frigates, HMS Arrow on the left and HMS Ardent in the near foreground. In the far distance, HMS Glamorgan glints in the sun as Type 42 HMS Sheffield cuts across behind Hermes. |
PS Ryde by Ivan Berryman. The venerable old paddle steamer Ryde has just backed away from Ryde pier, Isle of Wight, and is about to begin her journey across the Solent to Portsmouth in the summer of 1968. Just one year later the Ryde was withdrawn from service and, having spent a brief period as a floating nightclub, now languishes in the mud at Binfield, near Newport - a rusting hulk, though still recognisable as the proud war veteran she once was. |
USS Independence by Randall Wilson. USS Independence launches multiple aircraft, RA5C Vigilante from the waist cat, and a Crusader from the bow while deployed in the Gulf of Tonkin, Vietnam. |
USS Kearsarge by Randall Wilson. USS Kearsarge CV33, USS Princeton and USS Rochester CA124 in Korea 1952 with bearcats over the top. |
HMS Victorious Departing Faslane by Ivan Berryman. The second of the Royal Navy's Vanguard Class SSBNs, HMS Victorious is shown in the Gareloch, with the naval base of Faslane in the background. |
Yangtse Incident by Timothy OBrien. HMS Amethyst about to return fire while a Sunderland of 88 Squadron makes a hurried departure, 23rd of April 1949. |
The Intruders by Dru Blair. USS Saratoga and A-6 Intruders. This painting was originally created as the cover for Stephen Coonts' novel The Intruders. It depicts the USS Saratoga in her prime during operations off the coast of Vietnam circa 1970. The head-on shot illustrates the projection of power that the Saratoga wielded during the later part of the Vietnam war, as well as the reliance of the A-6 Intruder as the Navy's primary attack aircraft during the war. |
USS Forrestal by Ivan Berryman. USS Forrestal in preparation to launch an F14 Tomcat while in the Mediterranean , 1991, on her 21st and final operational deployment. |
HMS Eagle and HMS Albion by Ivan Berryman. HMS Eagle steams past the commando carrier HMS Albion during the withdrawal from Aden in November 1967. Gathered on Eagles flightdeck are an assortment of contemporary types including Sea Vixens, Scimitars, a Buccaneer and a Fairey Gannet. One of Albions Westland Wessex helicopters is passing overhead and RFA Stromness is at anchor in the distance. |
The Rendezvous by Robert Barbour. RFA Fort Austin makes a leisurely rendezvous at sunset with the Polaris submarine HMS Renown on patrol somewhere in mid ocean. Soon a rubber inflatable will be launched from the Fort, and mail and fresh fruit and vegetables will be transferred before darkness sets in and makes the operation more hazardous. |
Memories of an Empress by Gordon Bauwens. The Canadian Pacific liner Empress of Britain preparing for transatlantic departure from Greenock, 1960. Empress of Britain was built in 1956 for Canadian Pacific by Fairfields shipyard, Glasgow. Slightly larger than Sylvania, she too, with her sisters, was designed primarily to operate between the UK and Canada. Sylvania is shown on the Clyde with the paddle steamer Waverley in Caledonian Steam Packet colours. |
Honor the Brave by Philip West. One of the last aircraft to come aboard following the days combat actions was the (photo-bird) RF-8G Crusader. Unarmed apart from cameras and film, the eyes of the fleet pilots roamed far and wide throughout Vietnam to bring back vital post-strike photographs and reconnaissance information. The USS Coral Sea represented one of 21 attack and anti-submarine carriers deployed to the Gulf of Tonkin. Their crews displayed courage, duty, sacrifice and service. |
HMS Hermes - Under Leaden Skies by Ivan Berryman. Laid down as early as June 1944, HMS Hermes (R12) was not commissioned into the Royal Navy until 25th November 1959. This fine ship has enjoyed a long and varied career, perhaps its most notable role being that of flagship to the British Task Force that was sent to liberate the Falkland Islands following the Argentine invasion of 1982. She was decommissioned in 1984 and sold to the Indian Navy, whereupon she was renamed Viraat. Hermes is depicted here in stormy weather in the late 1970s before the Harrier 'ski jump' was added to her bow in readiness for the Falklands Campaign. |
Flight for Freedom by Stan Stokes. USN F/A-18 Hornet. |
HMS Theseus by Ivan Berryman. Two Fairey Firefly fighter-bombers of 810 Sqn, Fleet Air Arm, overfly the carrier HMS Theseus during the Korean War. |
Frunze by Randall Wilson. (GL) No text for this item |
