You are correct it is the Himiko. Named after the ancient Japanese shaman queen of Yamatai, she is also the subject of the new Tomb Raider game.

Sorry, Amateur,

I really don't know too much about this one ...

 

Although, I do know it isn't the Glenlee. 

 

(Google tells me it was not built at Tyne or Clyde)

Another hint. Before being transferred to the coast guard it served as a salvage vessel during WWII.

Not exactly the name that I was looking for but the USCGC Acushnet (WMEC-167) did go by the name USS Shackle for a relatively short period at the start of its life.

One province or the other, what does it matter ;)

Holland Class protected cruiser. Six of them build. All of them photograhped at this specific location,

of which I am not copmpletely sure: I guess it is the Nieuwe Diep at the Den Helder Naval harbour.
