Could post the list of all the A and I Class boats but that's not cricket so I'll go for the named vessel after Acasta and pick Achates.
Well, I'll give you the class.



Get the clue now?

Looking back, Tarjak wins this one. Having got the class of destroyer correct first. A bit wrong on the date, I believe the picture was taken in Jan 1941 when she was part of 3rd Destroyer Flotilla.

Goddammit, that's what I get for looking away for two minutes. I used to go to Hastings quite frequently and I've ridden on that railway.

I'm a tad confused...are we looking at HMS Algiers or an Algiers Class boat?

HMS Arrow. Which was heavily damaged, and eventually written off by the explosion at Algiers.
