Hi All,

I am sorry Brian (V) but i disagree with you.
Take a look at the gun shield it is not fully extended down.
The A to I class had fully extended gun shields all the way down.
Also Ithuriel had a different bridge structure.
This is clearly an Admiralty V&W class destroyer (WW 1 vintage).

The destroyer on the right side is a town class (former US) destroyer.
On the left side (see the searchlight) there might be a sistership.

Compare for instance the gunmount and bridge structure to this photograph (note that this is a pre-war photograph)

Kind regards,
Brian Corijn
