Yarmouth (1959) as fitted after refit

A 2¾ x 2¼ film negative. A port near broadside view of the Type 12 frigate Yarmouth (1959) alongside the South-West Wall in Portsmouth Dockyard. The photographer is on the jetty looking to starboard and slightly forward from abreast the funnel showing the ship from the bridge to the funnel. The 3 inch Mark 4 Knebworth-Corvus rocket launcher with the 2 inch rocket flare launchers above it are at 01 deck level and the MRS 3 Director is above them. The 25 feet motor cutter has a mythical lion-headed and fish-tailed creature on the side of its cabin. The top of the foremast is out of the picture.
