Every once in a while mothers-in-law prove themselves...mine just
acquired about ten Douglas Reeman books for me at a yardsale.
Anyway, currently reading "HMS SARACEN", and it strikes me that the ship
would have to be modelled after an EREBUS. Is that the general consensus?
Does anyone have, and/or have read, the Ian Buxton "Big Gun Monitors"
book? How is it?

depicted there looks like a Roberts class. Except Roberts only came
out in the 1940s. The Erebus class saw action in both wars. Pity
there was a real HMS Saracen - an S class submarine ....
