Hi,
Well, maybe images are deceptive. There's definitely a ship there, but maybe there is more merging going on with the background than I initially thought - or at least I can see more possibility for that now. A camouflaged freighter has been suggested offline (but, big R, I'm rejecting the time warp theory! bad movie too - the tomcats SHOULD have jumped the zeros!). I don't think it could be a Japanese carrier based on the rest of the pics in the album and the European axis powers only had the uncommissioned (but at one stage 85% complete) Graf Zeppelin to chose from - and it never made it to the Med. The white buildings do seem to indicate the Med somewhere and some other shots indicate fairly open water with a large swell. If anyone has details of service for the two Flak ships mentioned, that may help down time and place. My references don't go into that much detail.
Regards
Mike K
PS: I forgot to attach an additional scan.
