I am looking for interior pictures of HMS Repulse, her sister ship HMS Renown, or any other Royal Navy battlecruiser. I am trying to get a feel fir what life on board would have been like.

The Imperial War Museum has hundreds of photo's taken onboard various ships in WW2 - many of them were clearly posed, and look rather artificial, but they are worth going through:
