"The Ships"

Ship Photography

- WARSHIPS -
 
 


F 352 "Peder Skram", Royal Danish Navy.
Frigate "Peder Skram" (1966 - 1990) photographed in 1981 while she was still in active service.
She is now permanently moored at the old navy base "Holmen" in Copenhagen and serves as a museum ship.

The powerful and aggressive look of a warship, - here the F 352 "Peder Skram" -, never fails to make any ship lovers heart beat a little faster. The sleek lines, the speed, the power and the strange beauty of those special ships cannot fail to impress.

In the following pages it is my intention to display some of the many warship photos I have taken over the years. I will not go into details about the ships, - technical data, armament, history and such things -, but just let the pictures speak for themselves, of pure joy and admiration for those very fascinating ships.
I will, - however -, indicate the name, pennant number and country wherever possible, so that you can look up more information if so desired.

Please enjoy my WARSHIP PICTURES.
