HMS President, Museum ship on River Thames, England
The Flower-class Q-ship measures 250 feet in length, featuring concealed naval guns and a steel hull painted in geometric patterns.
Launched in 1918 as HMS Saxifrage, this vessel conducted anti-submarine operations during World War I before becoming a Royal Navy Reserve training ship.
The vessel represents naval engineering advancement as one of three remaining Royal Navy warships from World War I, located near Blackfriars Bridge.
Current restoration work takes place at Chatham docks, where visitors can observe the vessel's original structure and modified drill ship elements.
The ship employed deceptive tactics by appearing as a merchant vessel while carrying hidden weapons to counter German U-boat threats.
