[QUOTE=sam7;10085130]Lambda gunboats. Armstrong built.[/QUOTE] Great shots Sam - a good example of the ubiquitous Rendel (or "Flat-Iron") gunboats which served in numerous navies in the late 19th/early 20th centuries. Thanks for posting these.

Alpha gunboats. Armstrong built.

[QUOTE=sam7;10085136]Alpha gunboats. Armstrong built.[/QUOTE] More great photos Sam - #s 2 & 5 clearly show the retractable 280mm gun which was the main armament of this class.

Very interesting photos, thanks!! DFO :D

[QUOTE=sam7;10085141]Tshao Yong, Chinese turret ship. Armstrong built.[/QUOTE] Thanks for these, particularly No. 2. Photo 1 is usually identified as her sister ship YANG WEI (I notice that both Yard Numbers are quoted:)). Both were destroyed by the Japanese in 1894 at the Battle of the Yalu.

Interesting photos..particularly the twin bladed props...Brian

[QUOTE=sam7;10085865]In Warships for Export Armstrong warships 1867-1927 book she named CHEN HAI[/QUOTE] Can't really argue with that Sam! The database I use states her name as CHEN HEI somewhere down the ages the name was mis-spelt. Dave

I can read Japanese ship names in kana, but not Chinese. Let`s be both variants for search purpose. :)

Everything we obtain for this site is shown on the site, we do not have any more photos, crew lists or further information on any of the ships.
