Destroyers: Tribal, Iroquois or 280 Class
HMCS Iroquois (DDG280) was part of the 70th anniversary commemorations of the Battle of the Atlantic in Liverpool, England in May 2013.
HMCS Iroquois (DDG280) was the lead ship of the Iroquois-class destroyers of the Royal Canadian Navy, also known as the Tribal class or the 280 class. The second vessel to carry the name, she carried the hull number DDG 280.

Berthed alongside the Liverpool Cruise Terminal, she was one of three ships open to visitors, so along with grandsons #1 and #3 I took the opportunity to have a look around.
Herewith the first grouping in a short series are some of the images taken during our visit.
Look out for more images from our visit.

Hope that helps.
Although Iroquois sports her 'barber pole stripes' be assured Mr. Whippy has no franchise rights allowing sales of ice products up that foremast.
Canadian Naval group
The famous Barber Pole Group was originally a group of 120 Flower-class corvettes built in Canada during World War II, and charged primarily with protecting freighter convoys. The original group was Escort Group C-3. This group of ships, with its red and white barber pole stripes painted on the funnel, is still represented in the current Royal Canadian Navy: all Atlantic fleet ships wear this insignia. HMCS Sackville is the last remaining Flower-class corvette. Source; Wiki
Edit; see also the new thread on this forum titled The Barber Pole

Photographs from NCL Sun a sad sight to see HMCS Athabaskan and HMCS Protecteur at Sydney Nova Scotia being broken up, only the hull of Protecteur left.
When we went into Sydney on the return cruise to Boston MA Protecteur had gone.
