Title: Can you identify this ship, please?
Post by: Madelaine on 23 February 2021 05:54:22 pm
We found this drawing, dated 1933, in amongst the papers belonging to my husband's grandfather CREW Perryman who served in the Royal Navy.

Can anyone please give the ship her name? If Crew (as he was known in the navy) served on the ship, we will want to keep it!

Thank you!

Looks like one of the Queen Elizabeth class battleships - there were five of them, and I wouldn't like to say which: perhaps Barham? or Malaya?
