Warships in a heavy sea and a burst on the horizon

Two heavy warships with tall superstructures and turreted guns steam one behind the other, spray at their bows; a single warship heads into a rolling swell, water breaking white over its forecastle; far out on a grey sea a burst of dark smoke rises beside a ship on the horizon. The older catalogue calls the ships British; their nationality is not legible. In the autumn of 1939 the war was fought at sea while the armies in the west stood still.
