Bob Thats not Iron Duke to many funnels, this is ID with my North Carolina BB55

Hello Ron

I didn`t read the small print…..just assumed it was your IRON DUKE….Must have been a previous Duke?……..It looks an old one with all those funnels?

Nope. It looks suspiciously to me like a WARRIOR class , first class armoured cruiser circa 1905(ish) . One of 4, at 13550 tons, armed with 6x 9.2 inch guns and 4x 4.7 inch guns. All in single turrets, 9.2`s one forrard, one aft, two either side p&s, and two 4.7`s either side,

or I may be wrong….. Ashley

Perhaps the accompanying literature in the case ties the two together?? Ashley
