Portuguese Unprotected Cruiser Adamastor anchored in Hong Kong, 1905 https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/portuguese-unprotected-cruiser-adamastor/ #MaritimeHistory #NavalHistory #Adamastor #CruiserAdamastor #PortugueseNavy #Cruiser #UnprotectedCruiser #Navy #Naval #NRPAdamastor

Adamastor was an unprotected cruiser of the Portuguese Navy commissioned in 1897. Adamastor undertook numerous overseas deployments to Portuguese colonies in Africa and Asia. She made goodwill and training cruises, including visits to Brazil and the Far East, reflecting Portugal’s global maritime connections.

Her most politically significant moment occurred during the Republican revolution of 5 October 1910. The ship’s crew sided with the revolutionaries and Adamastor participated in the bombardment of the royal palace at Necessidades.
Adamastor was decommissioned in 1933 and subsequently scrapped.

Niemensch wird gezwungen da zu folgen/mitzumachen. Accounts/Instanzen mit #Fahrrad gibt's viele, aber bisher eben keine Motorradinstanzen. Die fehlen (mir) einfach. Da splittet sich das leider eh viel mehr auf als bei "motorlosen" Zweirädern, meist nach Art* und sogar Marken. Um von der (noch) eher Nische Elektrik gar nicht erst anzufangen. Ok, mit Pedelecs und Projekten wie dem eRockit sind die Übergänge bald fliessend.. Trotzdem.

Almirante Brown was ordered as part of Argentina’s effort to maintain naval parity with neighbouring Brazil and Chile. The cruiser was constructed by the Italian shipbuilding firm Ansaldo at Genoa in Italy. She was laid down in 1927, launched in 1929, and commissioned into Argentine service in 1931. The vessel was the lead ship of a two-cruiser class that also included ARA Veinticinco de Mayo. https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/argentine-heavy-cruiser-almirante-brown-c-1/ #MaritimeHistory #NavalHistory #Cruiser #HeavyCruiser #ArgentineNavy

Japanese Heavy Cruiser Kako in 1926 https://www.destinationsjourney.com/japanese-heavy-cruiser-kako/ #maritimehistory #navalhistory #IJN #ImperialJapaneseNavy #Kako #heavycruiser #cruiser

Kako was a heavy cruisers of the Imperial Japanese Navy.

She was initially armed with six 200 mm guns in single turrets, arranged along the centreline. This configuration reflected pre-treaty cruiser design concepts but soon proved less efficient than newer turret arrangements. During a major modernisation in the mid-1930s, Kako was rebuilt with three twin 203 mm gun turrets, significantly improving her firepower and combat effectiveness. The refit also included upgraded torpedo armament, improved aircraft handling facilities, and enhanced machinery performance.

By the time the Pacific War began in December 1941, Kako served with Cruiser Division 6 alongside Furutaka, Aoba, and Kinugasa. The division supported Japanese amphibious operations across the western Pacific. In August 1942, Kako participated in the Battle of Savo Island, part of the Guadalcanal campaign. During this night engagement, Japanese cruiser forces surprised Allied naval units and sank several cruisers in one of the most decisive Japanese surface victories of the war.

Despite surviving the battle itself, Kako was lost shortly afterward. On 10 August 1942, while returning to base at Kavieng, she was attacked by the American submarine USS S-44. The submarine fired a spread of torpedoes that struck the cruiser, causing catastrophic damage. Kako sank rapidly, with the loss of 68 crew, although another 649 were rescued.

A quarter-century ago, with firm commitments from my partner, we commissioned a #sailboat design for #bluewater #cruising on a budget.

Still a lot of elements I like, but it would not be a fast #cruiser. It also needs a substantial motor. Some things I know better than to do now: e.g. that windvane is dangerously far aft, unrepairable at sea.

When it came to the build, my partner dithered and delayed. It was never built.

A photo of a lines plan for a sailboat from a naval architect. The paper on which it is printed is held flat by books at each corner, and the grey wood-look flooring is visible on the left.

The vessel depicted is a sloop with a long boom and a plank bowsprit, looking like a dated 1980s design. It includes a boomkin, and is drawn with a windvane autopilot.

The Italian Regia Marina light cruiser Alberico da Barbiano. Sunk at the Battle of Cape Bon while transporting supplied to Tripoli https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/italian-light-cruiser-alberico-da-barbiano/ #maritimeHistory #NavalHistory #RegiaMarina #ItalianNavy #lightcruiser #cruiser #AlbericodaBarbiano

Built by Ansaldo at Genoa, Italy, Alberico da Barbiano was laid down on 16 April 1928, launched on 23 August 1930, and commissioned on 9 June 1931.
As built, Alberico da Barbiano carried eight 152 mm/53 calibre main guns in four twin turrets, providing significant punch against surface opponents. Secondary armament comprised six 100 mm guns, while anti-aircraft defence included eight 37 mm guns and eight 13.2 mm machine guns. The cruiser also had four 533 mm torpedo tubes. She carried two seaplanes (initially CANT 25AR, later Ro.43) with a single catapult for reconnaissance.
Armour was deliberately light, with a 20 mm deck, 24 mm belt, 23 mm turret plating, and a 40 mm conning tower, characteristic of Italian light cruisers prioritising agility over protection
By late 1941 Axis supply lines to North Africa were strained. The Italian High Command ordered Alberico da Barbiano and her sister Alberto di Giussano to deliver desperately needed aviation fuel and supplies to Tripoli. Owing to urgency, fuel barrels were stowed on deck which drastically increased vulnerability. On 13 December 1941, while transiting near Cape Bon, Tunisia, they were intercepted by a force of British and Dutch destroyers using radar to locate their position. In a night engagement, torpedoes and gunfire struck both cruisers; Alberico da Barbiano was engulfed in fire and sank rapidly, with heavy loss of life including Rear Admiral Antonino Toscano and her captain.

The Imperial Japanese Navy light cruiser Ōyodo was designed as a submarine flotilla flagship. Instead, she served as an escort, transport, and fleet support vessel throughout much of her career. In October 1944 she participated in the Battle off Cape Engaño as part of the Northern Force. She was sunk at Kure in July 1945. https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/japanese-light-cruiser-oyodo/ #MaritimeHistory #NavalHistory #IJN #ImperialJapaneseNavy #Ōyodo #lightcruiser #cruiser #WorldWarTwo #WW2 #WWII #SecondWorldWar

Ōyodo was conceived as a submarine flotilla flagship and long-range reconnaissance cruiser, intended to coordinate submarine operations across the Pacific. Her design prioritised speed, endurance, and command facilities over heavy armament. Her main battery consisted of six 155 mm Type 3 guns mounted in two triple turrets forward, supplemented by eight 100 mm dual-purpose guns amidships for anti-aircraft defence.
By the time Ōyodo entered service, Japanese naval strategy had changed dramatically. Submarine operations no longer held the central importance envisaged before the war, while carrier aviation had assumed the primary reconnaissance role. As a result, Ōyodo never fulfilled her original mission. Instead, she served as an escort, transport, and fleet support vessel throughout much of her career. In October 1944 she participated in the Battle off Cape Engaño as part of the Northern Force during the Battle of Leyte Gulf, screening Japanese carriers in a diversionary role against U.S. forces.
Ōyodo spent her final months largely immobilised at Kure. During heavy US carrier air attacks in late July 1945, she was struck by multiple bombs, capsized in shallow water, and sank on 28 July 1945 with significant loss of life.

HNLMS Sumatra was the second of the Java-class light cruisers built for the Royal Netherlands Navy.

In 1944 she was transferred to the Royal Navy and scuttled on 9 June 1944 at Ouistreham, as part of a gooseberry pier to protect an artificial Mulberry Harbour built by the Allies as part of Operation Overlord. https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/netherlands-cruiser-hnlms-sumatra/ #maritimehistory #NavalHistory #cruiser #RoyalNetherlandsNavy #HNLMSSumatra

A scenic view of the River Thames in London, with the iconic Tower Bridge prominently visible in the background. Moored along the riverbank is a large naval ship, painted in a greenish-blue camouflage. The sky is overcast, with grey clouds adding a moody atmosphere to the scene. On the right side of the image, a historic brick building with arched windows and modern extensions lines the riverside walkway. The river itself is calm, reflecting the muted colours of the cityscape. In the distance, modern buildings and classic London architecture blend together, creating a picturesque urban landscape.
