HMS Warrior (Britains first ironclad warship) in Portsmouth's historic dockyard, Hampshire, England. Built in 1860, she was steam powered.
HMS Frederick William (As TS Worcester) foundered in the River Thames. 6000 Trees - By the late eighteenth century, major vessels could require as many as 6,000 trees to be felled for construction proposes. Two thousand of these trees were oak trees.
She was initially ordered from Portsmouth Dockyard on 12 September 1833 as a 110-gun Queen-class ship of the line, under the name HMS Royal Sovereign. The order was suspended on 7 May 1834, but was later renewed, this time under the name HMS Royal Frederick, a change in name which took place on 12 April 1839. She was laid down on 1 July 1841, but work commenced slowly, and on 29 June 1848 she was re-ordered to a modification of the Queen-class design, still powered by sails alone. The order for the still unfinished ship was again modified on 28 February 1857, when it was ordered that she be completed as an 86-gun screw battleship. Conversion work began on 28 May 1859, and the ship was renamed HMS Frederick William on 28 January 1860, shortly before her launch on 24 March that year. She was completed in June 1860.
From 1 July to 31 December 1864, she served as a Coast Guard Service Home Station, at Portland, replacing HMS Colossus.[1] On 19 October 1876 she was renamed as Worcester, to take on a new role as a training ship at Greenhithe for the Thames Nautical Training College.[1] She fulfilled this role until her sale in July 1948. She foundered in the River Thames on 30 August 1948. She was raised in May 1953 and was broken up. Wikipedia

The HMS Camilla is an 18-gun ship-sloop of the Royal Navy, newly built in Northern Corrington. Her long 12 pounders offer her a good weight of metal, but what is most notable about her is her tall rig, being built for speed.
Here, she is seen on gunnery exercises just off Westface.

HMS Warrior is a 40-gun steam-powered armoured frigate[Note 1] built for the Royal Navy in 1859–1861. She was the name ship of the Warrior-class ironclads. Warrior and her sister ship HMS Black Prince were the first armour-plated, iron-hulled warships, and were built in response to France's launching in 1859 of the first ocean-going ironclad warship, the wooden-hulled Gloire. Warrior conducted a publicity tour of Great Britain in 1863 and spent her active career with the Channel Squadron. Obsolescent following the 1873 commissioning of the mastless and more capable HMS Devastation, she was placed in reserve in 1875, and was "paid off" – decommissioned – in 1883.
She subsequently served as a storeship and depot ship, and in 1904 was assigned to the Royal Navy's torpedo training school. The ship was converted into an oil jetty in 1927 and remained in that role until 1979, at which point she was donated by the Navy to The Maritime Trust for restoration. The restoration process took eight years, during which many of her features and fittings were either restored or recreated. When this was finished she returned to Portsmouth as a museum ship. Listed as part of the National Historic Fleet, Warrior has been based in Portsmouth since 1987.

She was the first ship to enter Royal Navy service in the 21st Century (wiki)

HMS Caroline is a decommissioned C-class light cruiser of the Royal Navy that saw combat service in the First World War and served as an administrative centre in the Second World War. Caroline was launched and commissioned in 1914. At the time of her decommissioning in 2011 she was the second-oldest ship in Royal Navy service, after HMS Victory. She served as a static headquarters and training ship for the Royal Naval Reserve, based in Alexandra Dock, Belfast, Northern Ireland, for the later stages of her career. She was converted into a museum ship. From October 2016 she underwent inspection and repairs to her hull at Harland and Wolff and opened to the public on 1st July 2017 at Alexandra Dock in the Titanic Quarter in Belfast.[2]
Caroline was the last remaining British First World War light cruiser in service, and she is the last survivor of the Battle of Jutland still afloat. She is also one of only three surviving Royal Navy warships of the First World War, along with the 1915 Monitor HMS M33 (in Portsmouth dockyard), and the Flower-class sloop HMS President, (formerly HMS Saxifrage) usually moored on the Thames at Blackfriars but as from February 2016, in Number 3 Basin, Chatham.

HMS Warrior moored at Portsmouth Harbour, 17th April 2018. HMS Warrior is a 9000 ton, 40 gun steam-powered armoured frigate built for the Royal Navy in 1859–61. She was the name ship of the Warrior class and her sister ship HMS Black Prince were the first armour-plated, iron-hulled warships in the world. Being fast (13 knots sail, 14 knots steam), armoured and well armed HMS Warrior was for a time the most powerful warship afloat. HMS Warrior conducted a publicity tour of Great Britain in 1863 and spent her active career with the Channel Squadron. Obsolescent following the 1871 launching of the mastless and more capable HMS Devastation, she was placed in reserve in 1875, and was "paid off" (decommissioned) in 1883. For the next hundred years the hull was used as a storeship and depot ship, and from 1927 as an oil jetty until donated by the Royal Navy to the Maritime Trust for restoration. The restoration process took eight years, during which many of her features and fittings were either restored or recreated. When this was completed she returned to Portsmouth in 1987 as a museum ship.

The HMS Amor de Cosmos is an Ignatieff-class vessel. Named for one of the Fathers of Confederation for British Columbia and launched on 19 November 2158 - the 300th anniversary of the establishment of the creation of the crown colony of British Columbia - the HMS Amor de Cosmos is designed as an interstellar assault mothership.
Staffed by a crew of thirty, and capable of supporting* all additional crew (152 in total) for the two Bordens, four Duplessises, and eight Lougheeds that comprise a full flotilla for this class of vessel, the HMS Amor de Cosmos can pacify small colonies and rogue stations or perform pinpoint infantry strikes on multiple planetside targets. It is itself capable of duelling with any other comparably-sized interstellar vessel or an assault by a variety of smaller craft, thanks to its ten banks of "Biculturalism" - laser cannons and plasma torpedoes.
The Ignatieff-class is currently the fastest and most maneuverable in its category (midsized interstellar assault, tactical).
*Support does not indicate that all can be provided with escape pods in the event of catastrophe; until the Borden-class escape shuttles are upgraded to the anticipated Mackenzie-class, all pilots, gunners, and troops would have to escape in their own vehicles. Support simply indicates available life support and spartan sleeping quarters.
HMS Belfast was a Town class light cruiser which entered service just before the outbreak of WW2. She struck a magnetic mine in November 1939 and required extensive repairs, not returning to service until November 1942, but much modernised and upgraded with improved firepower, armour and radar. She served with distinction, protecting the Arctic convoys, taking part in the action to sink the Scharnhorst, and involved in the naval bombardment of the D-Day beaches. After the war she served in Korea. She was put into reserve in 1963, and was finally saved to become an IWM museum in the Pool of London, opening to the public in 1971.
Apparently the front guns are trained for a direct hit on Scratchwood Services. Make of that what you will! :o))
