| | | At the top of a huge prefabricated unit, Swan Hunter employees are welding a gun turret in place. The unit is the accomodation and navigation block for a Royal Navy ship, and the gun turret is one of the few defensive parts of the ship being constructed at Port Clarence. The bulk of the work is putting in place accomodation units for the crew, and making the bridge from which the ship will be controlled. You might think that the bridge of a Navy ship would be constructed of extra-thick steel, but actually the opposite is true. The bridge is constructed in thin steel so that missiles will pass straight through without detonating. Other 360° views of in this section: The lifting equipment. The unit in its shed. | | | |
