I think it's one of the older destroyer tenders or submarine tenders, which one I don't know (Wikipedia it).

Looks like a ship from the Ready Reserve Fleet or related, some ex-Merchant ship. I will have a look and revert.

Rhade, it's not the PROTEUS, it's the DEL MONTE, see my post earlier on.

Gah. I feel very silly for not zooming in all of the way. Good eye.
