HSwMS Drottning Victoria, was a Sverige-class coastal defence ship of the Swedish Navy. She was launched on 15 September 1917 at Kockums in Malmö and delivered to the Navy on 12 March 1921. Armament consisted of four 28 cm guns and a secondary armament of eight 15.2 cm guns. The ship was decommissioned in 1957 and was later sold for scrapping. https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/hswms-drottning-victoria-swedish-coastal-defence-ship/ #coastaldefenceship #swedishnavy #MaritimeHistory #NavalHistory #HSWMSdottningVictoria #warship

HSwMS Drottning Victoria, was a Sverige-class coastal defence ship of the Swedish Navy. The vessel was the third and last ship in the Sverige class along with HSwMS Sverige and HSwMS Gustaf V. HSwMS Drottning Victoria was launched on 15 September 1917 at Kockums in Malmö and delivered to the Navy on 12 March 1921. Armament consisted of four 28 cm guns and a secondary armament of eight 15.2 cm guns. During the interwar period, the ship underwent several modernizations and was one of the most powerful vessels in the fleet during the Second World War. The ship was decommissioned in 1957 and was later sold for scrapping.

History has a habit of repeating itself, especially when power outruns judgement.

In the 17th century, the Swedish king Gustavus Adolphus demanded a #warship that would symbolise supreme strength. The #Vasa was built bigger, heavier and more ornate than naval engineering allowed. Extra cannons were added, decoration multiplied, and no one dared to object.

The result was a top-heavy ship that sailed less than a mile before capsizing and sinking on its maiden voyage.

It was not a lack of skill or resources that doomed the Vasa, but unrealistic expectations, political vanity and leadership detached from physical reality.

A similar pattern is now visible in the #us. Donald Trump has spoken of rebuilding the navy and even naming warships after himself — turning military power into personal branding. At the same time, debt grows, political division deepens, and institutions strain under pressure. Yet ambition continues to rise faster than resilience.

Japanese Escort Carrier, Shimane Maru, after being attacked by Avenger aircraft operating from HMS Victorious, 24 July 1945 https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/shimane-maru-japanese-escort-carrier/ #warship #navalwarfare #IJN #ImperialJapaneseNavy #escortCarrier #AircraftCarrier #MaritimeHistory #NavalHistory

Shimane Maru was the lead ship of her class of escort carriers for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during World War II.

Although she was completed, the ship did not enter active service before being destroyed by British aircraft on 24 July 1945.

The concept of the class was similar to British merchant aircraft carriers. The class consisted of two oil tankers of 10,002 gross register tons (GRT) that were modified by the Navy to provide minimal anti-submarine air cover for convoys going from Southeast Asia to the Japanese homeland. The conversion consisted of fitting a full-length flight deck, a small hangar, and a single elevator. An island and catapults were not installed. The only other change was the rerouting of the boiler uptakes to the aft starboard side where they discharged in a typical downward-facing funnel.

The Shimane Maru was fitted with a single geared steam turbine set with a total of 8,600 shaft horsepower (6,400 kW). It drove one propeller shaft using steam provided by two boilers. The ship had a designed speed of 18.5 knots (34.3 km/h; 21.3 mph) and a range of 10,000 nautical miles (19,000 km; 12,000 mi) at 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph).

The flight deck was 154.99 meters (508 ft 6 in) long and had a maximum width of 23.01 meters (75 ft 6 in). The hangar, built on top of the well deck, was served by a single elevator from the flight deck. It had a capacity of a dozen aircraft.
