Barnacle Bill

Currently at Chatham.

How about this one ?

Iran Navy Kharg supply ship

That's a polite way of saying I'm wrong..

 Yup !  did not do it myself as don't have time to sort out a nasty one !

Actually if you go to the book (post 21074) ,  An epitome, historical and statistical, descriptive of the Royal naval service of England,

its viewable in google books , the boat name is shown against the illustration on page 74 . It's also on the NMM website.

The £M1 grant will keep her safe for a little longer but it is the £M12 lottery grant we need for the full restoration. Keep fingers crossed.

So I should wait on the outcome of your wild guess?

 Sorry Guys things moved on with such alacrity I though confirmation was granted. But yes, along with her sisters Ehrenfels (who was transmitting intelligence on British shipping from a neutral harbour) and  Braunfels, Drachenfels were the last Axis ships to be sunk by an English cavalry unit.

 If you can find a copy of James Lessor's book "Boarding Party, The Last action of the Calcutta Light Horse" do please read it . It really shows how ordinary people put in extraordinary situations achieved the unbelievable during WWII.
