Navis Neptun 1/1250 107 HMS Vanguard, the battleship that blew up in Scapa Flow
An updated addition to the Navis WW1 series of quality metal, waterline 1/1250 model ships. HMS vanguard was launched in 1909 and although present at Jutland had a fairly humdrum war of patrols and training exercises.. What set her apart was that on the night of 9th July 1917 she suffered an internal explosion and sank almost immediately, killing 804 of her crew.
The three ships of this class differed from the previos Bellerophons by having longer and more powerful 12" guns.
