The Lord Clive Class monitor HMS General Wolfe as she appeared in 1918 after a refit which added an 18in gun aft. With this gun this ship made the longest ever firing at 36,000 yards firing 52 of her 60 18in rounds at a railway bridge at Snaeskerke in Belgium. Other armament includes two 12in guns from HMS Victorious, two 6in, two 3in and two 2pdr pom-poms.

Thanks to Heuhen for the commission and plans to draw this interesting little ship. I hope it's turned out as nice as you'd hoped! ;)

Edit: Thanks to heuhen, some minor adjustments have been made.

really nice drawing...it usually is that the oddball gems of naval history produces the best looking SB art, and this time isen't an exception.

intersting vessel I had never heard of..... are we going to see her (class) without the 18in gun as well?
also, any idea why the pattern on the spotting top?
