Man, you can see those poor sailors on the hull as it goes up.  May all involved in both sinkings rest in peace.

Wow those are just incredible and just awful. Unfortunate for all who perished. As said before rest in peace to those sailors.

Holy cow that magazine explosion.  It kind of leaves a lump in your throat to watch it.

Barham was a great ship -- a veteran of Jutland, and one of the few Queen Elizabeths that didn't have her fine lines ruined by the awful British 'citadel' reconstructions.
