Seen at the Glasgow Riverside
Seen at the Glasgow Riverside Museum is this HUGE 20ft+ model of HMS HOWE from 1937.
Hard to film due to the glass wall but well worth a visit if your are ever visiting Scotland.
History:
HMS Howe (pennant number 32) was the last of the five British King George V-class battleships of the Royal Navy. Built by Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company, she was laid down on 1 June 1937 and launched 9 April 1940. She was originally to have been named Beatty but this was changed to Howe, after Admiral Richard Howe.
Howe was completed on 29 August 1942 after her building time was extended, as supplies were diverted to work of a higher priority such as the construction and repair of merchant ships and escort ships. Like her sister-ship HMS Anson, Howe spent most of her career in the Arctic providing cover for Russian convoys.
