HMS Vanguard - The Last Battleship

On 4 August 1960 HMS Vanguard was towed from Portsmouth Harbour to the breakersyard at Faslane, in the Gareloch, Scotland, just a few miles from where she first set sail in May 1946. Under the command of Lt. Cdr. W.G. Frampton were two officers and 60 ratings. She was sold to the British Iron and Steel Corporation for £560,000.
