The photo may not be of Napier - note the appearance of the gunshields for 'A' and 'B' guns - these mounts don't look like twin 4.7 inch guns but rather single 4 inch guns, while both aft mounts are open - the two photos of Napier in English both have 'X'-mount enclosed in a gunshield. Compare the photo with File:HMS-PAKENHAM.jpg, apparently of Packenham, which is almost identical.Nigel Ish (talk) 13:21, 10 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
