What can you tell me about the fourth ship here, the dark one this side of the Rodney and Nelson?

I don't see either Rodney or Nelson in the pic. :dono:

The three big ships are all battleships/battle cruisers built before or during WW I. Single funnel, 4 x 2 main turrets, secondary guns in hull sponsons ... they look like Queen Elizabeth class battleships.

The vessel in the background could be a supply ship or something similar. :?

Rodney and Nelson actually the 5th and 6th ships. Their superstructures are quite close together and they're the farside of the dark ship.

Ah OK, I get you now. Short answer: I'm not sure. It could be a seaplane tender - "must check aircraft carrier reference book later" :read:. It would probably fit in with the time-frame, which I suspect is somewhere between 1915 and 1930.

I'm thinking Royal Sovereign-class for #1 and #4.
