HMS Daring, Tower

HMS Daring, Tower. Apparently the sphere at the top houses equipment sensitive enough to track a tennis ball around the globe..

Nice detail. The golf ball at the top houses a SAMPSON Radar made by BAE Systems Insyte at Cowes. Sensitive enough to track a target as big as a tennis ball, but not at as big a range as the big black Radar on the back (out of shot).

Nice shot,there`s alot going on too,plenty to absorb.
Like the way the surface/texture comes through to the viewer.
