HMS Oak (1912)

A starboard bow view of the Acheron class destroyer HMS Oak (1912), moving at speed within the Scapa Flow anchorage. The four armoured cruisers in the picture are the ships of the 1st Cruiser Squadron. The cruiser to the left appears to be HMS Warrior (1905), but the other three are too distant to identify.
