Description
British Second World War poster depicting a battleship firing at a close target which is hidden by the mixture of smoke and wash from the ocean. The poster was likely produced to be hung in factories, as it was issued by the Ministry of Supply, and was likely put out to inspire workers to continue working and show that what they were contributing was directly assisting the war effort. It is also likely that in the blank space in the right margin that the factory would have written the ways in which their production was assisting such naval machinery.
