Built by Ailsa Shipbuilding at Troon and completed August 1949.
3128 Gross, 1659 Net.
Sold 1973.

Now that's still the laid-up SUNRISE in the background............so its probably HMS GLASGOW wich arrived in late 1958 and took the place of War Hindoo at the Breakers.

Another possibility could be HMS Euryalus which arrived Late 1959 but I thinks its Glasgow.

Actually on checking both profiles I think this IS Euryalus.

Pity its not a better picture. A clearer picture would have proved it as Euryalus had two twin Turrets in x and y positions whilst Glasgow had twin Tripple Turrets in x & y. The Rangefinder on Glasgow also appears to be higher relative to the Funnel, this one seems lower.

Best I can do Sir.

Well in comparison I'm more certain this is Glasgow and the addition of War Hindoo, I think seals it!
