Shoreham-class (Shoreham, Bideford, Fowey, Rochester, Dundee, Falmouth, Milford, Weston), Hastings-class (Hastings, Folkstone, Penzance, Scarborough), Hindustan or Bridgewater-class (Bridgewater, Sandwich - rather not)
Is this the 1930s British destroyer A-class, B-class, C-class, D-class or the destroyer leader Kempenfelt or Duncan?
A: Acasta, Achates, Acheron, Active, Antelope, Anthony, Ardent, Arrow [no]
B: (leader) Keith, Basilisk, Beagle, Blanche, Boadicea, Bores, Brazen, Brilliant, Bulldog [no]
C: (leader Kempenfelt [HMCS Assiniboine]), Comet [HMCS Restigouche], Crescent [HMCS Fraser], Crusader [HMCS Ottawa], Cygnet [HMCS Saint Laurent] [maybe]
D: (leader Duncan), Dainty, Daring, Decoy, Defender, Delight, Diamond, Diana, Duchess
The presence of the 3 inch HA gun between the funnels means this
drawing would be either the C or D class. All the C class and their
leaders and half the D class and DUNCAN (not in DAINTY, DECOY, DELIGHT,
DUCHESS) carried a 3 inch HA gun as built later removed in the C class
probably as transferred to Canadian service.
Kempenfelt [HMCS Assiniboine] looks quite similar on photos...
Is this HMS Ark Royal or HMS Eagle? When did she look like this?
Seems to be the Eagle about 1957
