  HMS Coventry recovered Cross of Nails commemorated on canvas

  

  Four decades after the Cross of Nails was recovered from HMS Coventry off the Falklands, one of the team involved in the delicate operation has had it commemorated on canvas. Emerging from the depths a diver clasps the Cross – symbol of a city, a Royal Navy warship and hope over suffering – in a tribute to the men lost when the warship went down, and the men who dived to the wreck on the secret recovery operation.
