Ship at sea off Port Adelaide
Description provided by Searcy: 'H.M.S. Repulse(?) at sea off Port Adelaide during a visit of the British Fleet to South Australia in March 1924'. However, this ship is not likely to be the Repulse but one of the light cruisers that accompanied H.M.S. Hood and H.M.S. Repulse on their 1924 visit to Australia. Believed to one of the light cruisers 'C' class, it is possibly the 'Curlew'. The image is not clear enough to determine which of the cruisers it is. Another researcher states that 'there were no 'C' class cruisers in the 1923-24 Special Services Squadron Empire Cruise. This ship is a 'D' class cruiser; one of the first 3 built as it has a straight bow, not the flared trawler bow of the latter ships of that class. It is either the 'Danae', 'Dauntless' or 'Dragon'. The 'Curlew' escorted the Special Services Squadron in the Atlantic in 1923 before returning to the West Indies station.
