Yarmouth (1959) as fitted after refit

A 2¾ x 2¼ film negative. On board the Type 12 frigate Yarmouth (1959) alongside the South-West Wall in Portsmouth Dockyard. This is inside the senior rates mess on the starboard side of 2 deck between 16 and 21½ stations at the forward end close to the ship's side looking aft. Two double berths are on the left and one double bunk is on the right.. An air conditioning fan is in the centre with the advertizement 'Happiness is a cigar called HAMLET' stuck to the bottom of it. More bunks are on the aft bulkhead. A hand written list with the negative originally identified this as 'Senior ratings kit locker space from door to port' but then amended the description to 'Senior ratings mess.' Admiralty Service Drawing Number 955655/2 of 2 certified 18/10/68 shows this space as being the senior rates mess.
