Item description
Add a piece of eccentric naval history to your collection with the HMS Polyphemus model. This 12-inchreplica brings to life one of the most unusual warships ever commissioned by the Royal Navy. History of the Vessel Launched in 1881, the HMS Polyphemus was a "torpedo ram"?a fast, low-profile vessel designed to penetrate enemy harbors at speed. Its hull was shaped like a cigar to deflect enemy fire, and its primary weapons were submerged torpedo tubes and a massive underwater ram. While it never saw major combat, its radical design captured the public imagination, serving as the real-world basis for the heroic HMS Thunder Child.
Scale model of the HMS Polyphemus (1881), the Royal Navy?s unique "cigar-shaped" torpedo ram. Famous for its turtle-back hull and aggressive ram bow, this vessel is widely cited as the inspiration for the fictional HMS Thunder Child.
Manufactured using high-quality materials. This 12-inch model captures the distinct industrial aesthetic of the Victorian ironclad era, featuring detailed deck fittings, conning towers, and the vessel's signature low-profile silhouette.
The flat-bottomed hull ensures stability on any flat surface, making it an ideal conversation piece for office desks, bookcases, or maritime collections.
A perfect gift for naval history enthusiasts, wargamers, and collectors of Victorian-era military engineering. This model stands out from standard battleships due to its bizarre and innovative naval architecture, representing a fascinating dead-end in naval evolution.
