HMS President (1918)

HMS President is the former HMS Saxifrage, a Flower-class anti-submarine Q-ship built in 1918.  The ship was renamed HMS President in 1922 and permanently moored on the Thames as a Royal Navy Reserve drill ship.  Sold to private buyers in 1982, HMS President now serves as an event/conference and office space for media companies, and is one of only three surviving First World War Royal Navy warships.  In this photo, HMS President is seen sporting a dazzle colour scheme designed by artist Tobias Rehberger, unveiled on 14 July 2014.
