20 miles from where I live. The navy museum
at Portsmouth. I believe it was an afterthought
when the other was finished.
It was all Queen Victoria's idea she was keen
on everything navy and it was she that designed
the uniform with the 3 white stripes on the collar
to represent Nelson's 3 great sea victories.
All the worlds naval powers then used the design.
