[edit] Wrong picture?

I suspect that the ship pictured in the article is in fact not the HMS Gorgon. From what I can tell, she has too few turrets, too small a superstructure, and she sits to low in the water to be the Gorgon. Compare the image with the one on this site: http://www.battleships-cruisers.co.uk/monitors.htm

Also, compare with the model of her sister, Glatton/Bjørgvin http://www.mil.no/start/aktuelt/nyheter/article.jhtml?articleID=95479

[edit] Correct picture of HMS Gorgon

A correct image of the ship can be seen here: http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNBR_6-49_mk18.htm

[edit] HMS Gordon?

According to this article "Gordon" was the name given to the Norwegian coastal defense ship "Nidaros", after they seized it in construction at the outbreak of WWI. Easily mixed with "Gorgon", I guess. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.1.144.84 (talk) 13:41, 7 February 2007 (UTC).
