  • HMS Victory, oldest ship in service.

    I was in Portsmouth a while back and I've had these pics in my collection for a while, I remember someone on the board mentioning the Victory (I think it was Alex). Anyway here are some pics of the oldest ship in service.

          Very cool.
          Half of history is hiding the past.

              I have always been fascinated with maritime history. I can only imagine how cool it would be to see the Victory fire a full broadside volley.

                        HMS Victory is still in commission, and has been the flagship of the First Sea Lord since October 2012. Before this date she was the flagship of the Second Sea Lord.[7] She is the oldest commissioned warship in the world, although the USS Constitution, launched 30 years later, is the oldest commissioned warship still afloat
