Title: HMS Terror

HMS Terror was a 15" monitor that provided naval gunfire support for the Zeebrugge raid. She wasn't used at Gallipoli but other monitors were used there. This is a Navis-Neptune 1/1250 scale model:

Looking good.

And you made me want to learn more about her (and her sister, the Erebus). The turret is very modern looking.

Here is a model of the proposed landing craft for Operation Hush in 1917, with the monitors providing propulsion as well as close in naval gunfire support. The operation was cancelled but the pontoons were built and the British 1st Division practised the landings:
