It's the Cornwall, which is the kent/monmouth class

I said that it was Kent. Was Cornwall ever damaged like that? Kent was ... down in South America.:
Correction.
It IS Cornwall. Here is an article on her with the same photo:

I was really close but no cigar.

Kent was hit too ... at one of the gun sponsons ... same class, same battle ... presumably also put in to Esquimalt for repair.

Good find. There's nothing like the sound of those wicked Merlins. Would have been beyond belief to be around back then to see about 500 of them take off together. Would have sounded like a sky full of dragons. ![[B-o]](./images/smilies/drinkup.gif "Drink up")

I won't ask for the two things on the left and right sides (though if one ID's then kudos), but the AT gun and missile are fair game.

Left - M1 Abrams turret and basket
Centre - German Pak40 75 mm anti-tank gun (with rounded mid-WW2 muzzle brake) - could be wrong but the tires look like they have a German tread pattern
Right - SdKfz 11 half-track
Background - SCUD missile
Not too sure about the SCUD carrier though. Looks kind of small and most pics have them being transported by variants of those massive 8-wheel drive GAZ trucks the Russians built in the tens of thousands.

Wow. 
Honestly, I thought the AT gun was the UK 17-pounder...

Damn few people know to call that thing under the turret a basket.

Build enough model kits and one can start seeing these things while they're asleep. 
I could be wrong about the gun though. The tires look German but the splinter shield is definitely British so it could very well be a 17-pounder. They might have just taken a couple of semi-modern tires and put them on the wheels as there probably aren't too many original tires around anymore. Museums tend to do these things with their mock-ups.

Hamilton. I used to be a member of that museum.
