Portsmouth Naval Dockyard from the Spinnaker Tower

Portsmouth Naval Dockyard from the Spinnaker Tower, November 2014
It is difficult to identify everything in the picture (and I'm not sure I have all of the Type 45's in frame), But what I could identify by eye included 4 Type 45's, Ark Royal, Bristol, some Type 23's (don't recall the number, it may have been only one), and possibly some others (virtually impossible to see is a ship with a red hull and buff funnel between Bristol and one of the Type 45's, presumably Endurance).

In addition there is Warrior in the foreground, Victory without most of its' masts etc, the Mary Rose Museum in the middle ground, and the Type 45 Systems Integration Facility on top of Portsdown Hill in the far background.
