The damaged frigate Trollope (1943) on North Corner Jetty, Portsmouth Dockyard, Hampshire
A close view of the starboard side amidships of the frigate Trollope (1943) berthed alongside North Corner Jetty in Portsmouth Dockyard, looking across from the jetty onto the deck and the funnel. The front plating of the funnel has a large hole in it. The entire forepart of the Trollope (1943) is missing, up to and including the foremast, having been blown off by a torpedo from a German S-boat off the Normandy beaches on 6 Jul. 1944. Berthed outboard of her is a tank landing craft and the armament carrier Howitzer (1943). In the distance are the training ships Foudroyant (1817) and Implacable (1800) moored in Portchester Creek.
