That’s a Haskell class transport. In the 1983-1984 timeframe I count 15 candidates that were scrapped in Spain. Interestingly, this ship is intact, yet missing the forward gun tub. Of the 15 candidates, only Hyde (APA-173) is confirmed to have had her forward gun tub removed before decommissioning, so that’s my best guess given the known parameters.

If you check the comment of http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=2435713
it is highly possible that the the ship with yellow masts is indeed the DIMITRIS

I think the ship with yellow masts could be the Greek DIMITRIS (1955 / 5397 gt / IMO5076157).
