HMS APOLLO VISITING MONTEREAL JUNE 1937
The photo was taken from the port side of the signal deck of a Group 3 Hunt class escort destroyer (HMS BLEASDALE was one of this group).
Clues - 27' whaler on davits, aft of it is a torpedo davit, inboard of that is a quadruple 2pounder gun mounting and aft of that the searchlight platform/emergency conning platform can be seen.
The smoke screen, and the LCP(L)s, suggest it may well have been taken during the Dieppe raid.
