This painting is not, strictly speaking, sold, in the usual sense.  It was auctioned, at Chatsworth, in aid of funds for the Royal School for the Deaf in Derby, in May 2010, by the auctioneer Charles Hanson, of the BBC's Bargain Hunt fame.

It depicts the Type 42 destroyer HMS Glasgow in heavy weather, such as she may have encountered in the South Atlantic during the 1982 Falklands War campaign, during which she was hit by an Argentinian 1,000lb bomb.  Fortunately the missile did not explode, entering her superstructure and exiting through her side.  Damage was repaired at sea, and her participation in the hostilities continued.  The ship was decommissioned in 2005, having been built at Swan Hunter's Tyneside yard in the mid-1970s.

The painting is 24 x 18 inches in size, and is painted in oils on hardboard.
