A 1098
What we know about this image :
The following from the Teesside Branch of the World Ship Society: in the list of warships of the ‘Mothball Fleet’ that were laid up in the Hartlepools after WW2 there was one with the number 1098. It was a ‘Maintenance Repair Craft’ that went under the Pendant Number MRC 1098. It was in the port from around March/April 1956 until October/November 1957. If this photograph is of the same vessel, perhaps the ‘A’ prefix has been used to designate Auxiliaries? The horns on the bow would probably have been used for lifting either small vessels or buoys.
