GEOFF HUNT, P.P.R.S.M.A. (British, Contemporary)

"H.M.S. Bulwark at the International Fleet Review, 28 June 2005"

The Fleet Review at Portsmouth, at which Her Majesty the Queen reviewed ships from many nations' Navies, formed part of Trafalgar 200, commemorating the bicentenary of the battle of Trafalgar in 1805

 In the centre of Geoff Hunt's wonderful painting we see H.M.S. Bulwark (just recently deployed to the Eastern Mediterranean). To the left of the painting is H.M.S. Ocean and betwen these two ships is Bulwark's sister ship H.M.S. Albion.

To the right of Bulwark a line of frigates moves up, led by H.M.S. Cumberland and including H.M.A.S. Anzac, H.M.S. Gloucester, Westminster and Grafton and H.M.C.S. Montreal. Beyond Bulwark may be glimpsed French and Spanish vessels, including the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, and the Belgian corvette B.N.S. Westdiep. In the foreground one of Bulwark's assault craft cruises at high speed.

Geoff Hunt, President of the Royal Society of Marine Artists, was on board a ship taking part in the Review and has painted this magnificent record of the day.
