AFAIK, you didn't get any of our Vals except perhaps by default (a ship got lost?). Out of 1420 manufactured, 1390 went to Russia, with the rest here for training purposes. The pic you included is a Brit Val, noteable by the bolted frontpiece (vs our cast frontpiece).

I suspect the carrier in question might indeed be an LP2A, but we'll find out! Intriguing indeed...
