HMS Courageous by Randall Wilson. \u003cp\u003eTwo Stringbags (Fairey Swordfish) pass across the bow of HMS Courageous as she staggers from torpedo strikes launched from a German U-Boat in the Irish Sea. On 17th September 1939 HMS Courageous was struck by two torpedoes from the German submarine U-29 about 190 nautical miles south-west of Dursey Head, Ireland.  HMS Courageous sank in less than 16 minutes with the loss of 519 lives, including her commander Captain W T Makeig-Jones.  Her total complement was 1,260 officers and ratings and two squadrons of Fairey Swordfish aircraft (48 planes).  The sinking of the HMS Courageous was the first U-boat offensive against the Royal Navy, and more importantly, Schuhart's victory prompted the Admiralty to withdraw all three remaining carriers from the Western Approaches.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Limited edition of 50 giclee canvas prints. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Image size 30 inches x 20 inches (76cm x 51cm)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military Aviation Art Prints","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54134899474765,"sku":null,"price":400.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/5449\/9149\/files\/2026NEWdhm0854.jpg?v=1781871137","url":"https:\/\/militaryaviationartprints.com\/products\/hms-courageous-by-randall-wilson-gs","provider":"Military Aviation Art Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
