Powerful looking and pleasing to the eye, it is easy to see why these ships were hailed with delight by the Fleet when they joined it.  Frank Wood has used his usual recipe of glassy seas and a plethora of nearby small craft as the battleship sets out to sea.  VANGUARD came to a tragic end when she blew up in 1917 in Scapa Flow.
