Looking for Royal Navy history buffs here. I have a photo I found online of all four of the US Navy's Iowa class battleships steaming together. This was in 1954 and it said that was the only time the four ships were ever together, no doubt a purposely posed photo. You can Google it and download the photo. Anyway I was wondering if there was a similar occasion when all of the four surviving King George V class battleships were photographed together. Does anyone know? I'd like to have a photo of that too if one is available. These were the last occasion when that kind of sea power was seen. Maybe carriers can do more but I've always liked the big guns. Been on USS New Jersey at Camden- the other three Iowas are also museum ships today.

Best,
Bill in Cleveland
