Here's another one, the clue for this pic is that this class were not operated by the Brits (apologies for the distortion in the picture, it was taken with a handheld scanner)...

Not a bad guess, but not the one. This nation this vessel/class served with joined neither the Axis nor Allies during WW2.....
To bad, continuing the search. Although i still think it looks a lot like the NSCM Saguenay
Edit: Think I found it. Portugese Destroyer Vouga?

True, but I believe this is the actual King George V. Al least its class is King George V. Of which 5 ships were build.
Since Axe is away,
By game start, only a single ship in this class remain, but won't and didn't appear in HoI due to its state. Also, only one ship was lost to enemy attacks in the entire class, and I'm not tricking you, this is a multi-ship class.

While that's its caption on Wikipedia, I highly doubt it,
1. The orientation of the mast is wrong. The ones on Abercrombie points toward the turret, but the one here points away from the turret.
2. The bridge is wrong. The ones on Abercrombie are built around the mast, while the bridge here is separate.
3. The turret's shape is wrong. There's a bulge downwards at the back of this one, but no other pictures of the 4 Abercrombie-class monitors shows that bulge.
4. The barrel on the far side doesn't belong to the turret in the foreground so there must be another turret. Abercrombie had but one turret.
And well that's deliberate, my descriptions fit both the Abercrombie-class and another class that had none of the 4 inconsistencies mentioned.

This is definitly a picture of HMS Abercrombie During WW1 (its also the Abercrombie Class.) The one build in WW2, carring the same name(but is of the Roberts Class) is a lot different then this one.
Someone uploaded this picture somewhere with this caption, but the four discrepancies are too big to dismiss, especially the 4th one as no refit nor modification could fit another turret on Abercrombies.
Its fine by me. I found it in my books here. They say it Abercrombie. But if its another ship i would gladly hear which one and be enlightened by that knowledge.
Japanese battleship Settsu. This is taken behind its stern turret.
1. Japanese tripods points forward (bowward?).
2. The aft bridge of Kawachi-class was separate from its mast.
3. Settsu's turret had this bulge although Kawachi didn't.
4. Kawachi class had side mounted turrets.

Great pic SchwarzKatze
. It was the two turrets that had me sold on it not being Abercrombie, but I'm not sure if I'd have got it as Settsu.This ship is the other side of the 'game of poker' that was part of a crazy obscure clue from a whiles back - this is what can happen when you lose at ship poker!
This is her from the other side, taken from sea level.
I would put it down to a temporary overload in situational awareness due to stress and as typical for these times a utter lack to pass on the available intelligence, ultimately resulting in the decision leading to the scenes depicted in the photographs.
in retrospect, the incident leading up to this loss, can be traced back to a single failure in command. had the Captain displayed his previous aggressiveness and modus operandi, more likely then not, we would now be talking about a different outcome for the battle and a less embarrassing propaganda win.
