Incorrect on two counts.

:)

Happy Christmas.

Ah, yes, you asked for the class. That would be Dealey class.

2560 - Caption on the pic on Reddit:
Mk48 torpedo passing under a Dealey class destroyer escort USS Bridget (DE-1024) during an exercise in 1972.

USS Bridget was decommissioned in September 1973, so this 'miss' must have been intentional.

"That would be Dealey class"

It would.

Whats the connection?

They both belong to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Henderson Island & Belle Isle.

2567 - the what; it’s what we call a brick skew arch and I have seen countless versions over the years.
Most of this design carry a railway line, some, like this one, have a foot access gate to a ramp.
The unusual style of parapet railing and lack of maintenance suggest it no longer carries a live railway.
The where; looks familiar but off the top of my head I haven’t a clue.

Makko 26th December 2022 23:03

Malcolm, could it be a Canal bridge? Plenty near Rugby. I think Railway is too obvious. Where? Not a clue!

Malcolm G 26th December 2022 23:16

An aqueduct? - the arch to top don’t seem deep enough, but I might be wrong.

Rue Rottembourg, Paris. Viaduct.

Interesting answers......

The two islands are connected to a town in North Cumbria..
Belle island is correct.

#2583 - I was thinking Cassablanca, the piano -Play it again, Sam. Only it was a 1942 movie.

Malcolm G 28th December 2022 10:35

With clues it has to be Stan Laurel.
Perhaps the film is The Music Box.

After much pressure from conspiracy groups about the true contents of Fort Knox, and forcing them to reveal once and for all what was in there, this is what they found.
