    I don't think I have seen this referenced before, at least not recently.

    This is an excellent documentary about a grand old lady!

    Enjoy...

    Thank you for the link, Erin.

    This is one for the weekend, when I can relax and enjoy it.

    It's an interesting documentary, providing (at least to me) some unknown facts, like punishment in the navy being less harsh compared to on shore punishment.

    If you know the Hornblower series, some of the footage might be familiar.

    I liked the explanation of the 90 second firing cycle.

    I can only imagine the damage inflicted during a true raking broadside. Wow!

    And pretty much, nothing on the ship was going to stop a 32 pd ball at high velocity.
