Hi Joe, here is a model made by a gentleman of the HMS Mary Rose (1915) , Name : HMS Mary Rose Laid Down : 17th November 1914 Launched : 8th October 1915 Completed : March 1916 Type : Destroyer Class : M Builder : Swan Hunter Country : UK Pennants : Fate : Sunk 17th October 1917 HMS Mary Rose did not survive the war to meet this ignominious fate. Launched October 8, 1915, HMS Mary Rose joined the Grand Fleet in 1916 and took part in the Battle of Jutland. In October 1917 Mary Rose, along with HMS Strongbow, were assigned to escort a convoy to Scandinavia. At dawn of October 17, 1917, the convoy was spotted and attacked by two Imperial German light cruisers/ minelayers, SMS Brummer and SMS Bremse. In keeping with the highest traditions of the Royal Navy and the destroyer force in particular, both escorting destroyers charged their greatly superior opponents in an attempt to allow the convoy to escape. Strongbow was hit and disabled by the first salvo from the cruisers and sank three hours later. Mary Rose continued to press in against the two cruisers in an attempt to torpedo them. The odds were hopeless and the German gunnery too accurate. Before she could reach torpedo-firing range, she was sunk by the German cruisers. With no further opposition, the cruisers massacred the convoy, sinking nine of the twelve merchant ships. (History of the class and the Mary Rose is from the WEM instructions and British Destroyer 1892-1953, by Edgar March.) regards Keith i have an idea have you got in contact with Greenwich maritime they have the blue prints for most ships and will have the pennant of the HMS Mary rose , I will keep looking
