EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic moment during the Battle of North Cape in 1943, when the Royal Navy's battleship HMS Duke of York unleashed a powerful salvo against the German battlecruiser Scharnhorst. The Duke of York, launched in 1940, was a formidable vessel that served throughout the remainder of the Second World War. With a displacement of over 32,000 tons and armed with nine 14-inch guns, she was a formidable force to be reckoned with. In this image, we see the Duke of York's after turret in action, firing a volley of shells towards the enemy. The Battle of North Cape, which took place on December 26, 1943, was a significant victory for the Allies, as it marked the sinking of the Scharnhorst, one of the last major German warships. The Duke of York played a crucial role in this battle, which took place in the Arctic Ocean off the coast of Norway. The photograph is a testament to the bravery and determination of the crews of both the Duke of York and the Scharnhorst, who fought valiantly in the harsh Arctic conditions. The Duke of York served until her decommissioning in February 1958, when she was scrapped at Faslane, Scotland. This image is an important historical record of a pivotal moment in the Second World War, and a reminder of the courage and sacrifice of the sailors who served on these mighty vessels.
