......

The First two look like WW2 destroyer escorts (DD) with large turrets but the third looks like a dismantled battle ship.... Because of my Naval history knowledge i would say its a british vessel. Sorry if this doesnt help any

Number 1 is the Phra Ruang ex HMS Radiant, Thorneycroft built.

In the middle is the Dhonburi, launched 1938 by Kawasake. Armed with 4-8" on a 2,265 ton hull. Go figure. Reduced to a wreck in action 1941 as part of a French squadron, refitted by Japanese.

Last is either the Tachin or Meklong, both training ships armed with 4-4.7 in single gun mounts.

I found them in a copy of Janes Fighting Ships of WWII.
