  Mr Hood (the photographer) was on HMAS ANZAC for this series of photos?

  A few newspaper photos - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16733123

• Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:

  beachcomber australia Yes we think so, a few journalists reporting on the day appear to have been reporting from ANZAC: nla.gov.au/nla.news-article16733206 Rear-Admiral E R G R Evans was overseeing the operation from ANZAC and transmitting orders to ALBATROSS and CANBERRA. Can you imagine the atmosphere? There would have been explosions and quite a rumble with the explosives being set off and the guns being fired.

• Antoine R said:

  I think this is HMAS Vendetta (see my comment here: www.flickr.com/photos/anmm_thecommons/12625484163/ ).

• Antoine R said:

  I was wrong. The ship is surely HMAS Anzac (the second funnel isn't seen). And this photo is "mirrored" (look at the steam pipes).
