    There is no Rastafarian Navy - there's a zero after Dread in the original caption so it should read Dreadnought Cruiser. Indomitable was a Dreadnought-class Cruiser

    Alan Denney Mmm well caught, that naught!

    the term Dread(naught) Cruiser is also an obsolete description. HMS Dreadnought revolutionized warships in 1906. The first "all big gun" ship, she was the first modern battleship. Jackie Fisher who designed her, also designed the battlecruisers, of which INDOMITABLE was the second ship. They were originally known as armoured cruisers until they were redesignated as battlecruisers by an Admiralty order of 24 November 1911. The confusion seems quite common as they were also known as cruiser-battleship, dreadnought cruiser and battle-cruiser before the admiralty decree. The date may be 8/10/1915. It appears she may be coaling and/or taking on supplies.

    ah, the ship that changed it all, commissioned in 1909, instantly making all before her obsolete her wiki entry is quite extensive en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Dreadnought_(1906)

    the ship that started it all. this is one of the wing turrets, presumably the starboard as it would be parked facing forward.
