The shield was very basic, and was only fitted during the last upgrades, and not all guns received them. Most also had the Flare mounts on either side.
but White Ensign made a PE set for the England, and included RN shields on the fret. Not sure who has the copyright now.
Hope that hels
Absolutely correct - Captain Class... posted before my second cup of coffee! Thanks for whatever you can turn up.
I think you are talking about the lend-lease DE's, and they were called the CAPTAIN class. Names mainlay after Nelsons Captains.
I'll check for photo's and drawings
During WWII, some of the Royal Navy Admiral class frigates had their 3" mounts fitted with shields. Can someone please point me to a photograph or drawing of a shielded mount?
