Wonder what ship the officer in tropical uniform is on. Can't be the PoW, the secondary mount to the right isn't a 5.25.

Forgot to add, it's the Repulse.

HMS Repulse photographed from HMS Warspite I think. Looks like an auxiliary 6in gun to me. Of course I rarely get these right[:)]

If this is supposed to relate to the Pacific, I would imagine that this would be after Renown's rebuild with the tower superstructure..

Its the Repulse.  Her forefunnel is taller, the Renown after her rebuild/refit where of the same size.

HMS Repulse taken from either a "C" or "D" class CL (based on the design of the 6in waist gun shield).
