The 'flotilla' leaving Trincomalee, October 1944.
This picture was taken from HMS Wager, and my father, David H savin, who was a torpedo man aboard Wager, added the caption on reverse.
The 27th Destroyer Flotilla, Eastern Fleet, was based at Trincomalee, and as I understand it comprised 7 destroyers led by HMS Kempenfelt. The others were Whirlwind, Wessex, Wrangler, Wakeful, Whelp and Wager. So, the four ships captured in the photo are presumably from the above list.
