Able Seaman Carl Carlson with a hull plate of the H.M.C.S. QU’APPELLE, which was pierced by a German shell during action in England, 16 August 1944, [600 x 776]
Is it known where on this ship this piece was from? To me it looks too thin to be from the hull of a warship but then again I know absolutely nothing about maritime construction.

And the "explosion" is from the unpainted side out. Looks like something went out, not in.
