Summary
editDescriptionBritish T-class destroyer 1945.jpg | A British Royal Navy T-class destroyer steams next to the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Wasp (CV-18) in August 1945. The destroyer's pennant number (D4?) is obscured by fuel oil. Five T-class destroyers and the carrier HMS Indefatigable (R10) were part of Task Group 38.3 in August 1945: HMS Teazer (D45), HMS Tenacious (D46), HMS Termagant (D47), HMS Terpsichore (D48), and HMS Troubridge (D49). The two funnel rings identify the ships as part of the 24th destroyer flotilla (all T-class destroyers). As the vertical stripe identifies the division leader in the flotilla (the second senior commander), the destroyer is most probably HMS Terpsichore (D48). In the distance are a long-hull Essex-class carrier, probably USS Randolph (CV-15, flagship RAdm Gerald F. Bogan), and the battleship USS North Carolina (BB-55). |
