The Fleet Of England All In All (1929)

[@adrianhutchings3377]

In the opening wide view, there are both Nelson class battleships present plus at least 2 Iron Dukes in the distance. At 50secs a D class cruiser is seen sailing out. Both Iron Dukes are shown underway. The Iron Duke battleship shown in splendid close up sailing by from 1.50 is probably the Benbow (Its nameplate on the quarterdeck superstructure is indistinct but seems to say Benbow).

[@johndickie5577]

Must be Benbow, not enough letters for Marlborough or Emperor of India.

One could argue that the Royal Navy was at it`s best some time 1943-45?

[@morganrees6807]

The last part (ship's company pictured) gives you an idea of the human sacrifice when a capital ship such as Hood was lost.

[@richhughes7450]

Easy to tell the Nelson Class.

[@magnuslundin682]

Iron Duke class from 1:10

[@dazt103]

HMS Renown both Nelson class there amongst others. An Impressive sight to say the least.

Jolly good show

The Fleet of England ? Obviously the Pathe folk were short on their UK geography - Rosyth and Scapa Flow for example ?

[@jodonnell8625]

The Fleet of England ? Isn’t it the Fleet of Britain?

[@BjarneLinetsky]

Typically, RN capital ships on parade would fire their boilers to make them "pant"; a low, throbbing vibration that would rattle your coat and give you goosebumps.....

[@lilboy3102]

Britain 🇬🇧

[@daniellapus636]

During those days England still possess the most powerful navy in the world.thanks.

[@Ah01]

One could argue that the us navy was close, if not ahead. Both relied heavily on WW1 vintage, since the treaty limitations.

[@jodonnell8625]

No Britain did. England didn’t have a navy if it’s own.

Sad how many times I have seen pirated sections on other channels

[@timothywalker4563]

Is this Scapa flow where the fleet was filmed?

[@Kidderman2210]

Looks like Portland Harbour.

[@lilboy3102]

Why they wrote England everywhere instead of Britain ? 🇬🇧

[@dulls8475]

Because 80 years ago England was also the same as saying Britain. Many Americans still say that to this day.
