I don't think those are destroyers. I think they're smoke pots, as part of a smokescreen.

I have no idea, but you have to give it to the people studying the pictures in those days. And the PR pilots, the sight on them was amazing.
Great pic, by the way lanc.

At least we sunk it. Contray to what some AMERICAN documentary claimed. The USS Iowa sunk it in the Atlantic, apparently.

I guess none of us will get a job in intelligence as photo interpreters! Let me around with Photoshop and try some enhancements and brightness/contrast adjustments.
