Identity Required
I have this 1958 photograph of HMS Victorious doing a three ship RAS with Tideflow and an unidentified frigate, any help identifying her would be greatly appreciated, I have contacted the RFA Association, they gave me the Tideflow, but not the frigate.

Re: Identity Required.
Barry,
My first shot is that she is a Whitby (not Rothesay) Class Type 12 Frigate ... name as yet not known (by me)

The Royal Fleet Auxiliary ship RFA TIDEREACH refuels the aircraft carrier HMS VICTORIOUS, aircraft ranged on its deck, and the frigate HMS TENBY during a lull in the NATO exercise RIPTIDE. The frigate HMS SCARBOROUGH waits astern of TIDEREACH to be refuelled. RIPTIDE a combined British and American exercise, took place off the east coast of America. During her stay in United States VICTORIOUS demonstrated her radar to the United States Navy and visited Norfolk, Virginia and Boston.

Re: Identity Required.
Many thanks Harry, that photograph has been driving me crazy, I never thought of the Tenby, I have a photograph of her with us in The USA, alongside us in the photograph I have from Norfolk. I actually paid 6d each for the photographs from the Ship's Photo section.

That photo was taken by Stan Laundon at Hartlepool in June 2011.
