These pictures featured in the links below are said to be (possible) HMS Viagro.
But i wonder if its the norwegian HMS Svenner, sunk 6th of june 1944.
Viagro was in fact in the same area as Svenner, so perhaps the photographer was also in the same area, but misidentified the ship.
Thsi is a text from HyperWar:
Two torpedoes passed between H.M.S. Warspite and H.M.S. Ramillies, and at 0530 one hit H.Nor.M.S. Svenner close on the port beam of H.M.S. Largs. Another torpedo was seen approaching H.M.S. Largs; her engines were put emergency full astern and the torpedo passed a few feet ahead of her. It then came to rest and sank just short of H.M.S. Virago. She had, however, seen H.Nor M.S. Svenner's signal "TORPEDO PORT", and with the remainder of the starboard division of bombarding destroyers waiting stopped in a group, went emergency full ahead.
