  Monitor (warship) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
USS Monitor became the prototype of a form of ship built by several navies for coastal defence in the 1860s and 1870s and known as a monitor.
The monitor as a class of warship reappeared in a rather different form during the First World War as a flat bottomed sea-going barge equipped with battleship-sized guns and intended solely for bombardment of the enemy coast.
One example of this type of monitor is the Royal Navy Monitor M33.

For the remainder of the war she served in the Mediterranean and was involved in the destruction of the Greek fleet at Salamis Bay on September 1, 1916.
The M33 next saw service, along with five other monitors (M23, M25, M27, M31 and HMS Humber), which were sent to Murmansk in 1919 to relieve the North Russian Expeditionary Force.
In June, the M33 moved to Archangel and her shallow draught enabled her to travel up the Dvina River to cover the withdrawal of British and White Russian forces.

A late example of a monitor-type ship is the Huascar, a Peruvian Navy ship that was the vessel commanded by Admiral Miguel Grau during the war between Peru and Chile (War of the Pacific, as it is known in those countries) in 1879.
The captured ship, where in May of that year Captain Arturo Prat of the Chilean Navy died after a unequal battle between the Huascar and the wooden, sail ship Esmeralda, was commissioned into the Chilean Navy, and is currently at dock in Talcahuano, still a commissioned vessel with crew and commanding officer.

 Monitor M33
M33, one of five six-inch gun monitors ordered from Harland and Wolff, Belfast, was subcontracted to the neighbouring shipyard of Workman Clark Limited.
M33 supported the Suvla landings and for the next four months patrolled the coast where men from Britain, Australia, New Zealand, India, Africa and France fought Turks and Germans in savage trench warfare.
M33 was laid up on the Nore from late 1919 until 1924 when she was sent to Pembroke where she was converted to a minelayer.

ON May 5th, 1924, the monitor M33 arrived at Pembroke Dock, for what proved to be almost the last job undertaken at the naval dockyard before closure was announced the following year.
M33 left Pembroke Dock at the end of June and sailed for the Mediterranean - a slow voyage for she could only make about seven knots in the open sea.
Alas this was not to be and with the campaign coming to an end in December and January she remained in the Mediterranean and Aegean until the end of the war.

 Battle of Trafalgar: Nelson's Navy
The M33 is one of only two British warships to have survived from the Great War of 1914-18.
As part of a major shipbuilding effort undertaken at the time, a fleet of shallow drafted coastal bombardment vessels, known as ‘monitors’, the M33 was ordered from Harland and Wolff in Belfast, who subsequently constructed it at the neighbouring shipyard of Workman Clark Limited.
Of the six monitors that participated in the Dvina river campaign, only two were lost, the M25 and M27, after running aground because of their deeper draft, and having to be scuttled.

But Hampshire County Council, which owns M33, needs about £1m to complete her restoration and cannot apply for a lottery grant without agreement from other dockyard users.
In order to prevent her becoming a drain on taxpayers' pockets, the council is thought to be considering selling M33 abroad, possibly to Australia.

A variety of internal exposures are obtained in order to provide a monitor of the integrity of the CCD camera electronics in both bays {gain 7 and gain 15}, a test for quantum efficiency in the CCDs, and a monitor for possible buildup of contaminants on the CCD windows.
Using intflat observations, this WFPC2 proposal is designed to monitor the pixel-to-pixel flatfield response and provide a linearity check.

And what ships - catamarans, hovercraft, warships - we visited Portsmouth among other places, so it was a bit like seeing old friends again, among them the Tyne-built Ark Royal, and also HMS Richmond, the last (until now) warship built by Swan Hunter's and recently returned from service in the Gulf.
There was even a huge and sleek, fl-hulled liner of the Holland-America Line, and - especially fascinating - a First World War Monitor, M33, lying in the Historic Dockyard, which is to undergo restoration.
Talking of ships, there has been a lot of correspondence to catch up with, among it, a letter from a reader who does not give her name but who was interested in a recent mention of how the pay of war-time merchant seamen was stopped the minute their ships were sunk.
