I've searched loads and loads of web sites trying to identify a WW2 destroyer number D45. It might seem simple enough but I've had no luck in finding it on all the naval sites. Can anyone help please? TIA.

I am sorry I know nothing of battle and war matters - but is there any chance this is what you are looking for?

Be careful - RN ships rarely change their names after being commissioned but their pennant number is subject to reallocation when they move to a new command. Pennant D45 is also recorded as being allocated to HMS Westminster and HMS Teaser.

Do you know the date of the photograph you're comparing to the web? The profile of many warships changed over the course of WWII, particularly with regard to funnel shape, provision of masts (radar etc) and a general increase in the amount of anti-aircraft armament.

Found another site!

There are two pictures here - one in front of the Forth Bridge and another (rather sad) of Westminster waiting to be broken up. (She's carrying pennant no L40.)
