    It looks like a Mahan Class DD, perhaps Conyngham?

    Captured British-built, Grecan-flagged captured destroyer used by the Germans as the "Hermes"?

    Good shot, but not built in Britain, though they had a part.

    Camo does look German but she looks more like an Ambuscade derivative, also apparently has a single gun mount amidship. Possibly Rumanian, either the Regele Ferdinand or the Regina Maria.

    More likely Yugoslavian.

    It's yours TOS. The Regina Maria she is.

    Wow, that was a shot from the hip. My Conway's shows only the Niels Juel, but I thought it close enough to try the only other still around past 1936.

    Lets try another from an often forgotten fleet.

    You are better off than me, that picture came out a 1943 almanacco navale (the Italian Jane's), is and it shows no baltics, no Poles and no Yougoslav ships as those nations didn't exist at the time! It's picture of the Regina Maria was close enough to make me think I was on right track though. There were some other coastal battleships around in Norway, Sweden and Finland in WW2, not to mention the Thai pair, they probably saw more combat than regular BBs as most of those never fired at an enemy ship.
