D11
D68 or D11? D11 is in Sydney, while D68 is off the coast of Batticaloa, Ceylon. Underwater. @WorldClassMods
I've seen the actual HMAS vampire. It quite a bit more majestic than that. But after all, it's a destroyer. It's not supposed to be majestic.
@BogdanX Its a ship
The pictures are a bit hard to use as a reference.
I found a picture of the stern in a drydock. The propellers are massive (compared to the ship)
@EternalDarkness
It looks nice. For additional reference, you could have used Google. I found a lot of pictures of this ship there.
