What's this?

South African sailors sit on 16" gun barrel of HMS Nelson.


But man...HMS Nelson and HMS Rodney were two of the coolest ships ever simply because of their turret placement (pic below).

The Brits had the best ship names back in the day, too. HMS Revenge. HMS Resolution. HMS Iron Duke. HMS Warspite. HMS Valiant. Etc.

I've been on HMS Belfast, which is docked in London. Light cruiser. They literally let you go anywhere on that ship. Great tour that I would recommend. But the coolest one I've been on was HMS Victory.
