Good Lord Ron, that's impressive. You're 2 for 2.

I'll hold off on her name until tonight, to see if somebody can come up with it.

I've got a particuarly difficult one I've already found for tomorrow. You're going to get a few FROM the ship, and you have to guess which one it is (and it ain't gonna be easy)...

Since there is no hull number shown, and the pics i saw of the Aussie ones had hull numbers, i'll guess it is one of the Indian ones: HMIS Bengal (J 243)
HMIS Bombay (J 249)
HMIS Madras (J 237)
HMIS Punjab (J 239)

It's a Bathurst, but not in the Indian Navy.

Not a Canadian Bangor as the funnel on the RCN ships is about two thirds the height.

The ship is the HMAS Mildura.

There's a very good website for her
