The ship looks deserted. Have all the ships complement gone on shore leave?
Fact of the Day: HMS Camel (Named because of the 2 large humps of her design) is the only war boat fitted with small wheels & regularly patrols desert areas. Locals would often refer to her as "'The Ship of the Desert" which then became a popular nickname for Camelspic.twitter.com/A1h5eFFnFM

Who's going to say it then ?

I'll say it. That is definitely wrong. The HMCS Beaver Dam was also fitted with wheels, albeit small ones, for sea shore duty in Saskatchewan.

Fact check: that's not the desert, but actually Camber Sands, which was regularly patrolled by Royal Navy land dreadnoughts as late as 1948, when they were scrapped by the Atlee government.

I didn't know that camber sands was scrapped, I was down there yesterday it looked okay apart from the 300 million people social distancing.
