British Weapon-class destroyer HMS Broadsword (D31) in the foreground; Battle-class destroyers HMS Trafalgar (D77) and HMS Jutland (D62), the latter erroneously identified as HMS Chaplet (D52), in the background; and what is very probably Battle-class destroyer HMS Dunkirk (D09) in the middle, view to pennant number obstructed.
