EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this historic print is the magnificent launch of the County Class Royal Navy destroyer, HMS Devonshire, at Cammell Laird shipyard in Birkenhead near Liverpool. The year was 1960, and on the momentous day of June 10th, this mighty vessel gracefully glided down the slipway into the waiting waters below. A true testament to British naval power and engineering prowess. The sight is awe-inspiring as HMS Devonshire emerges from her birthplace, ready to embark on a journey that would shape her destiny. With every inch of her sleek hull glistening under the sunlight, she symbolizes strength and resilience. This proud warship stands tall against a backdrop of bustling shipbuilding industry along Merseyside. Two long years later, after countless hours spent perfecting every detail onboard, HMS Devonshire was officially delivered to the Royal Navy. From that moment forward, she would become an emblematic force within Britain's military might during the 1960s. This image not only captures a significant milestone in maritime history but also serves as a reminder of our nation's dedication to protecting its shores. It pays homage to those who labored tirelessly behind-the-scenes at Cammell Laird shipyard and showcases their remarkable craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it evokes a sense of pride for our naval heritage while honoring all those who have served aboard such majestic vessels.
