Here’s a collection of images of the secondary guns of HMS Rodney. I was fortunate in picking up a second album of HMS Rodney with photographs taken with the spring cruise of 1935 and the fleet review of 1936. I added the approximate years and mixed the photographs below a bit. The second album had normal postcard-sized images and isn’t of the same quality of the first album but still very much worthwhile to show.
I just missed out a third album that would have complemented a nice series of HMS Rodney refuelling a destroyer at sea, but it had many duplicate shots and had to let it go.
