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

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

So I will kick off with the obvious Saint Petersburg.

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.
