[edit] Wrong picture?

I suspect that the ship pictured in the article is in fact not the HMS Gorgon. From what I can tell, she has too few turrets, too small a superstructure, and she sits to low in the water to be the Gorgon. Compare the image with the one on this site: http://www.battleships-cruisers.co.uk/monitors.htm

Also, compare with the model of her sister, Glatton/Bjørgvin http://www.mil.no/start/aktuelt/nyheter/article.jhtml?articleID=95479

[edit] Correct picture of HMS Gorgon
