An Illustrious class ship by the look of it. If your saying "Plucky" then I would say it's either Illustrious or Formidable. Both were heavily damaged in the med.

Right. It's the Illustrious, which figured prominently in the Malta convoy battles.

This brave little warship had an illustrious commander.

Two of these can still be visited. Blucher sits on the bottom of a fjord in Norway near Oslo. Prinz Eugen was used as a target ship at Bikini and now sits upside down at Kwajalean Island in the Pacific.

Correct and I used to live on Kwajelien and you could see the stern from lagoon side of the Island.

Layout looks similar to British J, K and N Class DD.

And you are correct again!!

Oops, but you caught it which still makes you correct!

This is a famous Royal Navy destroyer. But here I'm looking for a specific name. Hint: It was sunk by the Luftwaffe during the British evacuation of Crete in 1941.
