Essex or Otaki. Correction - Middlesex

Cant remember that Essex had so much accommodation ?

2 holds aft ?

awy

This is neither Essex nor Otaki ... their superstructure is somewhat lower and boat davits less prominent
However, the other pic posted is either Essex or Otaki, of that I'm reasonably sure. But which I don't know unless there are rigging differences than can be checked off against the Otaki image already in this archive

Could it be the Huntington ?

Cheers
Colin

Huntington had 6 hatches/holds

Northumberland?

Looks like the Middlesex to me.

I am sure this is Middlesex. Along with Cornwall, Surrey and Nottingham she was built in the early 50s but was the only one of the class with a lattice radar tower.
