You said that the last traces of her were still around for an extra 10 years? What was left for that long and why?

[elswick1542]

@BlueonGoldZ Ship was broken up slowly at her final resting place without heavy equipment.

At 4.20, it that Warspite?

It looks more like the Renown / Revenge battlecruisers?

Nice video however, such a shame that all these beautifull WW2 warriors are scrapped.

[elswick1542]

@marcontainer65 No its the opposition at the battle of Cape Matapan the Italian BB Vittorio Veneto

The song is great! Which song is it, and who recorded it? I'm a folksinger, and I'd like to learn this one.

[elswick1542]

@Morgteck Scottish folk group called Wolfstone.Track is called brave foot soldiers.

@lorrainesaunders1 Warspites crew,s=HEROES!

[biloxipilot]

Its a shame they didn't preserve her like battleships here in the US

Warspite was the 'Forest gump' of the RN in the world wars, EXCEPT for the destruction of the Bismark, if there was a significant event HMS Warspite was there.

[GravesRWFiA]

@marcontainer65 Renown class BC's had 3 double turrets. The Revenge class BB's had 4 doubles but were smaller than the Queen Elzabeths.

@elswick1542 check out the book battleship sailors, a whole book of tales from the crew of the Warspite.

Btw, thanks for these great videoes Elswick, brilliant job!

Of all the Royal Navy ships to scrap! It still irks me they didn't preserve one of the "fightingest" battleships in WWII. My dad has a small piece of her; the end of one of her 6" shell casings, in honour of my grandfather, David Andrews, Royal Navy (ret.) having served aboard her. Very proud indeed!

@elswick1542 Thanks, I wasn't sharp. I could have seen at at the double funnels.
