Making the the crew stand there watching their ship being broken up is absolutely criminal.

This ship or one of the King George V Class battleships should have been kept as a museum ship.

Why? It would have been better suited at home on The Clyde where she was built.

So sad. My uncle was serving on the Vanguard during the voyage with the Royal Family in 1947

3:30 The duty officer forgot to tell the helmsman "Left hand down a bit" (The Navy Lark). 2:30 What a handsome ship it was.

freeze @ 5:19 and go to full screen. i wonder if these two lads, here in the prime of their Royal Navy manhood, are still alive and if so do they realise their youthful selves are still to be seen on You Tube???.

Built for a war that was over when launched and then scrapped after a short life.

Americans didn’t just preserve theirs they modernised them and kept bringing them back for war where they were very effective

Magnificent ship it was, i have a model of her, i didn't knew the story before seeing this. By the way, does someone know the background music playing in 7:55, i've heard on a couple of newsreels of the time.

I believe the US has preserved every one of the Iowa class, all we've got is a light cruiser, surely as the last of her kind she should have been saved as a memorial?
@warc8usАй бұрын
Every Iowa class, at least one of the South Dakota class (USS Alabama), and USS Texas of the New York class among possibly others.

A "volunteer" pool might be able to re-build an equivalent "clone" of this battleship. Lighter materials, tube steel and aluminum alloys (w. reinforced epoxy / metal mesh) . Not saying it would be as formidable as the original; but it could be "rebuilt" on the cheap. Missile batteries have made heavy turrets obsolete, but something equivalent might be cooked up. Just sayin' ( trying help, so to speak ).
