A ship with a famous name.
Which is?

HMY Victoria and Albert

Not so.

Another view....

That looks like the 'Hood entrance' to Portland harbour.
So that would make it HMS Hood (The one before the famous one)

HMS Hood.

Correct.

Identify the ship.......

Maybe HMS Ivanhoe.

A major seaport to identify......

Maybe HMS Ivanhoe.

.....maybe not.

#660 - I see a Russian flag or two, I see Brutalski architecture.

So I will kick off with the obvious Saint Petersburg.

Second bear trap in two days ,John.

Apologies if the yellow and blue street sign confused.

Totally unintended.

With you interest in subs, it had to be there somewhere. :thumb:

On that ship they are 'Flotilla bands' to denote number of flotilla.
They used a code of colours, or none, but JFS does not tell me what 3 black bands were.

Bands on fwd funnel would be used to show Flotilla Leaders and Divisional Commanders.
JFS does tell me that Home Fleet were white; Med Fleet, red or black; China, black.

HMS Isis is wearing three black bands on her after funnel, indicating that she's a member of the Third Destroyer Flotilla.

Well, it looks like Vancouver
