Germany:
U-68 on a rescue mission after the sinking of Raider Atlantis. Due to lack of space, the crew of the Atlantis is on the deck casing. November 22, 1941.
U-126 initially rescued the crew and brought them to the supply ship Python. On 1 December this ship was resupplying UA and U-68 with fuel and torpedoes when light cruiser HMS Dorsetshire appeared: the submarines cast off while Python was scuttled. UA and U-68 eventually resurfaced to take survivors aboard and lifeboats in tow (five boats each), with the Atlantis CO coming aboard U-68. Over the next few days they coordinated with other boats to spread out the survivors.
U-801 sinking with its bow high, some 550 kmest of Santo Antão island, Cape Verde, on 17 March 1944. USN destroyer USS Corry (DD-463) is coming up at right. The submarine was heavily damaged by aircraft and surface ships of Task Group 21.
Sunk on 17 March 1944 in the Atlantic west of the Cape Verde Islands, in position 16.42N, 30.28W, by a Fido homing torpedo from two Avenger and a Wildcat aircraft (VC-6 USN) of the US escort carrier USS Block Island and depth charges and gunfire from the US destroyer USS Corry and the US destroyer escort USS Bronstein. 10 dead and 47 survivors.

RN:
Javelin or J-class destroyer HMS Janus (F-53) underway on contractor's sea trials, Aug 5, 1939
Hawkins-class heavy cruiser HMS Effingham, photographed during the Norwegian Campaign in May, 1940. She would sink two days later after hitting an underwater rock while approaching Bodø through a narrow channel. There were no casualties among the crew.
On board the Submarine Depot Ship HMS Forth, Holy Loch, Scotland, 1942 An O (Odin) class submarine, possibly HMS Otway
Twin 6-pounder (57mm) guns on Scott class destroyer leader HMS Mackay. One of just seven destroyers to be armed with this weapon in WW2, replacing one of their 4.7 inch mounts. Specifically for use against E-Boats
15inch gun monitor HMS Erebus
One of a class of two shore bombardment ships (with sister HMS Terror). Completed 1916. 8,400t, 2x15in, 2x6in and 4x3in guns. Hull form and slow speed made handling difficult, but not as bad as previous classes of monitors. Served with Dover Patrol during Great War. Laid up in reserve during Interwar Period and re-activated on outbreak of WW2. Armament altered with addition of 8x4in AA guns. Served in Mediterranean, where HMS Terror was sunk in Benghazi harbor by German aircraft. Erebus later provided fire support for the Normandy Invasion. She was paid off soon after the end of the war and scrapped in 1946.
