Okay, there is a *very* funny movie starring Trevor Howard, Cary Grant, and Leslie Caron called Father Goose, and at one point Cary Grant's character Walter is in his launch and being followed by Trevor Howard's destroyer. I want to make a diorama of this scene (with a tiny Walter flipping the bird to the larger ship) for my dad, as it is our favorite image from the movie. The problem is, I have absolutely no idea what type of destroyer it is. There is a pennant painted on the side, ML 363, but that does me no good without a name (the number was never used in the Royal Australian Navy as far as I can tell).
Can anyone here help me with what class this ship is so I can look for either a kit or a good set of plans? Since this was a relatively low-budget America movie, I think the ship is American by design, so that could narrow it down.
Here's a pic of the ship:
I'm sorry it's not in focus, but you can make out various features. Jaynes may be a good place to start.
