The pattern above the crown looks familiar but i cannot place it so a pretty random guess: 9th Lancers.
That makes me wonder: how can you tell the two (Tromp and De Ruyter) apart, other than by the number painted onto the hull? It’s not my area of specialty, and the only reason I guessed De Ruyter is because a few hours before I replied last night, I watched Saving Lives at Sea. That showed De Ruyter towing a coaster with engine trouble, and on seeing the photo Lee posted, I thought, “It looks just like the frigate in that show” so I went for that
Pure luck - I came across Tromp and not De Ruyter so I went for Tromp.
It actually is worse than I was thinking!It’s a prototype for the Cobray Lady’s Home Companion (look that up before commenting on the name — it’s worse than that suggests ).
