The HMS Shropshire.
HMS Shropshire was a Royal Navy (RN) heavy cruiser of the London sub-class of County-class cruisers. She is the only warship to have been named after Shropshire, England. Completed in 1929, Shropshire served with the RN until 1942, when she was transferred to the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) following the loss of sister ship HMAS Canberra. Commissioned as HMAS Shropshire, the ship remained in RAN service until 1949, and was sold for scrap in 1954.

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the grandeur of the HMS Shropshire, a distinguished Royal Navy heavy cruiser. As part of the esteemed London sub-class of County-class cruisers, she proudly sailed the seas as a symbol of British naval power. Named after the picturesque county of Shropshire in England, this vessel holds a unique place in maritime history. Captured circa 1st September 1938, during an era defined by global conflict and uncertainty, this image transports us back to a pivotal moment in time. The ship's towering funnels and striking nautical flags fluttering proudly against the sky serve as reminders of her formidable presence on the open waters. Amidst her port holes stand brave sailors who dedicated their lives to protecting their nation's shores. These courageous men formed an unbreakable bond with their vessel as they faced the challenges posed by World War II.

Commissioned as HMAS Shropshire, she continued her noble service until 1949 when she retired from active duty. Today, this remarkable print serves not only as a testament to naval heritage but also as a cherished memento for those captivated by tales of bravery at sea.
