Three very interesting craft!
HMS BELFAST is in an interesting WW2 camouflage scheme - makes a nice change from "peacetime" plain grey.
Is the Japanese "special attack" craft one of those motorboat powered by a large aircraft engine? Or by a standard destroyer-type torpedo up its bum?
Has anyone got a good photo of the only surviving German air-sea rescue "float" as used in the English Channel from the time of the Battle of Britain onwards - apparently they were so useful that the RAF were ordered NOT to destroy them as they were, well - just to damn useful! Several Allied aircrew members owed their lives to these strange litle craft, which looked like a crude sort of submarine, but they weren't of course. Glad that somebody ssaw fit to save the lst one. If I knew what it was called I could Google it.
