The last Tribal. A remarkable survivor from a legendary destroyer class.

Grant Shapps calls Navy submarine name change 'woke nonsense' HMS Agincourt has been renamed Achilles amid reports the defence ministry did not want to offend France.

9th January 1941. First flight of the prototype Avro Type 683 Manchester III - soon to become the Lancaster. Almost 7,400 ‘Lancs’ were built, becoming the backbone of Bomber Command. Along with the Halifax and Mosquito, its contribution was critical as the RAF night offensive intensified.

(Burning battlecruiser in a heavy sea, with destroyers visible through the smoke) Artwork by C E Turner showing the final moments of Scharnhorst, ablaze from stem to stern.
