That's a great picture... though I can't help wondering what went through the USN sailors' minds when they first saw Scapa........ And a VERY minor correction: it's HMS Victorious

Great pics! These 2 pics must be among the last ones of HMS Eagle. I'm thinking the cruiser steaming aft of HMS Victorious is most probably HMS Charybdis, which also didn't survive the war
