3.34k	In mid-August 1940, while steaming in the Red Sea, *HMS Royal Sovereign* was unsuccessfully attacked by the Italian submarine *Galileo Ferraris. Later that month, she returned to Atlantic convoy duties. These lasted until August 1941, when periodic maintenance was effected in Norfolk, Virginia. HMS Royal Sovereign* appears here at the Hammerhead crane, Norfolk Naval Shipyard. Note: The camo pattern was unofficial. It used Black over the standard light grey, but the little triangle of medium grey on the stern confirms that this was the first version, applied in 1940. That section was painted over in black by 1942.	Partial text courtesy of en.wikipedia.org. Photo i.d. courtesy of Aryeh Wetherhorn, Sean Hert & Richard Jensen. Camo text courtesy of Aryeh Wetherhorn.

NR	BREMERTON, WASH.—UNCLE SAM WORKS TO KEEP THEM ON THE SEAS—Temporarily out of commission, the British battleship *Warspite* is tied up at the United States Navy Yard here for reconditioning. Here's a general deck scene looking from the bow toward the big guns that do battle to keep the seas free. The cables and tubes provide air conditioning for workmen below decks. To keep from getting sluggish and rusty and to be trimly efficient for the day when they will return to active warfare, the gun crew of *Warspite* practices loading dummy wooden shells into a twin-barrel, 4-inch anti-aircraft gun.
