Yarmouth (1959) in the fitting out basin.

A 2¼ square roll film negative. The stern of the Type 12 frigate Yarmouth (1959) from high on a crane alongside the east side of the fitting out basin of John Brown & Co Ltd's shipyard at Clydebank. The photographer is looking down, to port and slightly aft showing the starboard side of the ship. 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. A pontoon is alongside at about station 48. Everything forward of station 45 is out of the picture.
