In Scapa Flow, one of the four late war Königsberg class light cruisers. As the most modern light cruisers, the whole class was surrendered. One survived the scuttling to become the French cruiser Metz.

Likely in 1916, a snapshot atop 30.5cm Turret B aboard the Austrio-Hungarian battleship SMS Viribus Unitis. Note th canvas on the turret & 66mm gun. It is likely for future protection against coal dust.

No search lights, only basic spotting equipment. After the Skagerrak Battle, Kaiser & König class battleships were modified with the photoed heavy tube mast. Hindenburg & Derfflinger were given tripod masts.

From the Panzerschiff Admiral Scheer in late 1944 to early 1945, crew work to reload a 15cm secondary gun with a high explosive shell.

Only two battleships were filmed sinking while underway, the above mentioned ship & the HMS Barham.

The film of the sinking of the Szent István was shown in American theaters as a fundraiser to support kids in post WW1 Austria.

In Scapa Flow, Scotland, the RN & USN battleships HMS Ramillies & USS Florida. The American sailor misidentified them as a battlecruiser & USS Wyoming. Ramillies is still sporting her dazzle scheme.
