The pennant should be U77 and her full name should be HAMS Yarra (II) as it was the second ship of the same name. The first one was the HMAS Yarra (I) River-class destroyer used in 1910 - 1929.

Ship page. Here indicated as sloop (?). I have no info about navy, at all. But like to search and gather info.

Oh yes , the pennant L77 was changed to the U77 and with the one she participated in the iranian operation in 1941.

Regarding the sloop ship type. She was the Grimsby-class sloop. A sloop is a small or mid warship also called the escorteur because it was used for convoying of cargo boats.

Evidently had a collision with something and bent or broke a tie rod.
Tyrodtom knows his suspensions and how they get disabled.
