She is one of the Southampton Class, possibly Liverpool as she is the only one that I can find with 5 Carley rafts in that position.

I think this is the same class as the last and possibly HMS GLASGOW, which had four Carley Rafts slung in the same place on the port side - I also had a copy of the picture above in my Glasgow folder.

This is Glasgow in 1946 at Dar-es-Salaam
