Re: Name That Ship
I saw the name on the side but as much as I tried I couldn't figure it out with my ancient eyes. I'm enlisting my son to try and read it.

Absolutely correct. Converted to a monitor and scuttled at Tobruk by the Italians to prevent capture by the British.

Nope. Hint: That thing to the ten o'clock position of the anchor is a city crest.

Re: Name That Ship
I cannot make out the crest

It looks like a Leander class except the foremast. I was guessing that the Indian Navy might have modified the mast to look like that at some point since I cannot find any picture of how the Indians had modified it.

Re: Name That Ship
Should I put out another hint? Appears to be harder than I thought.
