Yarmouth (1959) in the fitting out basin.

A 3½x4¾ glass plate negative. Looking vertically down on the stern of the Type 12 frigate Yarmouth (1959) from high on the 150 ton cantilever crane alongside the west side of the fitting out basin of John Brown & Co Ltd's shipyard at Clydebank. The bases for the Limbo mortars are well advanced and the positions for the fixed torpedo tubes and the aft superstructure have been marked out on the deck. Everything forward of station 55 is out of the picture.
