Summary[edit]

Description
English: The destroyer, HMS ESKIMO, presented an all white appearance after a severe snowstorm. A sentry stands next to a snow covered 4 inch Mark V gun on Mark III HA mounting on deck."
?
The factual accuracy of this description or the file name is disputed.
Reason: This cannot be HMS Eskimo, for 4 inch guns on Tribal Class were twin Mk XVI, not single Mk V. In addition, this gun looks too small for 4 inch - maybe 3 inch gun.
