The Admiral is Admiral Tait. He was Flag Officer Plymouth until 1977 when he became Second Sea Lord, 77 – 79. Mike Marks was CO from 77 – 80. Photo is either 77 when Tait was FOP or 78 or 79 when he was 2SL. Do you have any information?
On reflection, Admiral Tait is a Vice Admiral in the photo. He was promoted to Admiral on becoming 2SL, so conclude he was FOP in the photo and the date is therefore 1977
