Hello Davy,
Don't despair as I am sure that there are forum members who would love to try to help. Have a read of this thread for instructions as to how to upload pictures.

I'm not an expert, but she looks like a Tribal Class destroyer, e.g.

But without a number, who knows which one? That site has service records which may identify her if you have anything to match with.Last edited by Kerrywood; 01-03-2012 at 8:45 PM. Reason: direct link to site containing advertising - please read our Terms of Service

If she was involved in the 1956 Suez operation she must be either HMS Defender or HMS Daring - I think these were the only two Daring class vessels involved.

Just found this on Wikipedia I know its not the most accurate web site but here we go
Duchess was initially assigned to the British Home Fleet in early 1953.[3] In September 1954 and July 1955, the destroyer was deployed to the Mediterranean, and near the end of the year escorted the Royal Yacht Britannia during the final leg of Queen Elizabeth's and the Duke of Edinburgh's world tour.[3] Duchess continued to operate in the Mediterranean until July 1955, and was involved in the Suez Crisis in 1956.[3 Sometime between 1956 and 1964the destroyer operated with the Far East Strategic Reserve.[
