This could be HMS Intrepid that was in the flow on a naval exersise arond 1972/3 my family got invited to a party on board her as the navy used our land as part of the exercise, I was around 14 at the time and it was a very grown up do, all the handsome young sailors serving drinks and snacks to everyone. I have since met one of those sailors who was working as a steward at that party and remembers it well!

Definately a tribal class destroyer I would say, so probably is " Ashanti"

I'm not very into navy ships, but dont think this is Intrepid, but someone will know for sure..

Its definitely the Ashanti, I got this picture from Betty. But she gave me another one the other day that has a better and clearer view of her number. F117.
