    Looks like one of the Leander frigates in dry dock.

    Pretty sure that is the Leander Class Frigate HMS Euryalus in dry dock. She did a short refit on the Tyne and was also the adopted ship of South Shields.

  • fear uk said:
    Its HMS Yarmouth

    she came in for repairs after collision off Iceland during "cod war".
    The other ships were BP Fern -no4 drydock, MV Penelope Everard, Shell hamble, and the drill ship Dalkieth.
