A 1/1250 scale metal model of HMS Vanguard, a Dreadnought battleship of the St Vincent class. Vanguard was the most infamous member of the St Vincent class because she fell victim to a magazine explosion in Scapa Flow in 1917. This model has torpedo nets and the 4" guns have been removed from A turret, so the 1/1250 scale HMS Vanguard model represents Vanguard, St Vincent and Collingwood during 1913-early 1916.
