I tend to disagree ...  That may well be NÜRNBERG's Flag but - comparing the pictures of the ships' turrets - IMO the photo was taken aboard ZODIAC (or another Z-class destroyer), see NÜRNBERG (https://navsource.narod.ru/photos/02/098/02098019.jpg) and ZODIAC (https://i.servimg.com/u/f14/15/74/00/10/hms20t13.jpg)

Ich neige dazu, Ihnen nicht zuzustimmen.  Das mag durchaus die Flagge der NÜRNBERG sein, aber anhand eines Vergleichs der Bilder beider Schiffe bin ich der Meinung, daß das Foto auf dem britischen Zerstörer aufgenommen wurde

greetings, Urs

That is entirely possible. Thankyou for your input. The back of photo says Nurnberg but more likely HMS Zodiac
