Hi Jim,

She is the "Caroline" class light crusier HMS CAROLINE. I have uploaded a photo taken on 1st February 2005, not a good one but it was very overcast at the time.

Happy New Year to you.

The ship in question is HMS CAROLINE.  She is in fact the ULSTER RNR Drillship and has been used as such since September 1924.
