Includes HMS Vanguard and the mighty HMS Eagle, the largest RN carrier ever built. Never again would the Royal Navy be this impressive. Guest visits include the Italian training vessel Amerigo Vespucci (which still exists, at 85-years of age), the French 9120-ton La Galissonnière-class cruiser Montcalm and the heavy cruiser USS Baltimore as well as the supersexy Soviet cruiser Sverdlov (which was only scrapped in 1989, one of the last steel ships present on this day in existence).
