Nuclear Submarine Anyone Know What This Represents? Or Anything About It

[maclarencat]

I bought this at auction recentlymainly because my hubby is ex navy and interested in all thing s nautical. It is obviously a presentation desk set that was given when they started building the nuclear submarine SS Renown but does anyone know what the centre circular piece is meant to represent. It tapers a bit towards the back

sorry I posted 2 photo bucket links but they don't seem to have worked and I don't know how to do it any other way.

you could use tinypic that is very easy to do


is it a piece of metal ? , some of the modern items that they build these days have a piece of metal ( first cutting ) put on a plaque as a souvenir

Somehow or other, you've only uploaded a thumbnail of the picture to Tinypic:

which Peaspeculiars has attempted to enlarge.

Try uploading the original image to Tinypic and then using the LAST link in the list offered to you here on AB.

From what we can see so far, all I can think of is a symbolic representation of a ship's wheel placed in front of a similar representation of a torpedo tube.
