Looks very convincing!

Looks like that pyrmaid-like building in San Francisco.

Man, I just hope newer USN destroyers had that and without the wierd looking bow (I'm talking about DDG-1000...).....

Yeah, impressive sight. I guess such skies are common in UK (as they are also over here). Were you onboard this ship Dave?

Hi Roel Yes it was an assignment for the magazine .An Unusual and large ship, the bridge was a cross between that on the QM2 and the Starship Enterprise .The following day was clear blue skys . No two days are ever the same in NW England.

@ Dave: do you have additional photos of Daring? Especially showing details on deck?

I saw her myself, but could photograph only from the Historic Dockyard (near M 33) and from the boat of the harbour tour:
