Minerva has featured in some fantastic photos over the years, a few also involving her Lynx. I only have a small copy of this particular picture but it does not carry the usual naval photographic unit stamp on the rear, so unsure of it's origins.
Along with the County class, the Leanders must go down as best looking naval vessels of recent years.
