A V/W class destroyer dropping a depth charge
An unidentified V/W class destroyer dropping a depth charge. The photograph was taken from the after end of the upper deck, close to the depth charge rack. This vessel appears to be equipped with only a six charge capacity dropping rack and a very limited number of reloads, suggesting an early-War photograph. The crew are dressed for Arctic conditions.
