was just going through my pictures and found this beauty! I took this my self off a rib, it's of HMS Exeter (now decommissioned) during a live firing off of Scotland somewhere, it's a tad wonky due to the sea...
Impressive shot Matthew. If we'd still got a decent fleet left, we'd have somewhere for this.: http://www.baesystems.com/article/BAES_ ... oqksdvmc_4
Why are pieces of metal moving fast so exciting? Now; all we have to do is create a valid terror treat or hype up a rogue nation so the Yanks can go and fire it a somebody!
What a great picture! I am impressed you had the foresight to capture a uk warship in action before they went the way of diplodocus! That new rail gun seems impressive. It would be a shame to mount such an efficient, 'wealth creating' sector device on something as moribund as a floating, public sector platform! It looks perfect for swimming in the photo...though perhaps you'll tell us otherwise!
Read this before, but not seen it fire until now. Awesome power...great picture Matt "Create a valid nation" Matth Lol.....or were you being sarcastic
Not quite warm enough for swimming I dont think! I was lucky to get the chance to take it, the system almost always breaks down after one missle is launched as it did on this occasion too!
What's a 'rib'??.....I assume it's not one of those huge things that gets thrown on top of Fred's car at the end of 'The Flintstones'....so what is it??
