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. All four destroyers served together in the Royal Navy's 7th Destroyer Squadron in the Home Fleet between its forming in 1957-8 and 1962, when Jutland was paid-off and put in reserve; at Sliema Creek, Marsamxett Harbour, Malta
