"Town class cruiser HMS Newcastle at Devonport shortly before the outbreak of war, July 1939 [2119 x 1161]."

 

PTs? Yeah, there was bunk spaces, engine spaces, a galley of sorts, etc. Think of it as a very aggressive cabin cruiser.

 

"Aircraft carrier USS Ranger (CV-4), probably in New York in 1939 for the World's Fair [720 x 1122]."

"T55E1 Motor Carriage. An eight-wheel drive vehicle, the T55E1 was armed with one three-inch gun in a limited traverse mounting and a supporting .50 caliber machine gun."

 

"Ryan FR-1 Fireball. This was a naval fighter with a radial engine for takeoffs and landings, and a jet engine for high speeds. While 1,044 planes were ordered for the invasion of Japan in late 1945, only 66 were built when Japan surrendered. More advanced 'pure' jets quickly overtook the Fireball."

 

"Luftwaffe Dornier Do 26 transport and reconnaissance flying boat. Only six were ever built. (1989 x 1278)"

 

"A-1 SKYRAIDER [1600x1067]"

To my experienced eye that's a Sumner-class destroyer.

 

"[2671 x 2126]Sailors leaving the HMAS Australia before its scuttling on 12 April 1924, some 24 miles from inner South Head of Sydney."

 

"Mahan-class destroyer USS Downes (DD-375) leaving Norfolk Navy Yard after completion on march 1, 1937.[5437 × 3654]"

To my experienced eye blah blah blah.

"Northern Territory, Australia. March 2021. Explosive Detection Dog Cheese, of the 1st Combat Engineer Regiment, and his handler Sapper Luke Saxton prepare for a search task during training at Kangaroo Flats Training Area. (800 x 445)"

Reporter: You must be proud to work with that animal.
