Ca...... Doesnt seem much more accurate.

I will park this one.....any other offers?
Perusing JFS for mid 60s
The 965 bedstead radar leads me to Fleet Radar Pickets.
Four of them, converted later Battle class, known as ‘Battle class AD conversions’.
Agincourt, Aisne, Barrosa, Corunna.

Looking at the location of the island ‘base’ I believe this is one of the new Gerald R Ford class, I will go for John F Kennedy (always admired the man)

I would be happy with that. At the end of the day ( being an ex-rugby player) the referees decision is final (even when he is wrong)!

#462 - nearer ship is one of Aisne, Agincourt, Barrosa or Corunna (probably Agincourt - part of 27 ES 1964-66) and the further ship is a Ca class destroyer (not frigate), more difficult to identify but what's visible of the bridge behind the Battle's "B" turret looks like the so-called "frigate bridge" fitted to Caesar, Caprice, Cambrian and Cassandra.
