Yarmouth (1959) in the fitting out basin.

A 3½x4¾ glass plate negative. Looking down on the forepart of the Type 12 frigate Yarmouth (1959) from high on a crane alongside the south-east corner of the fitting out basin in John Brown & Co Ltd's shipyard at Clydebank. The photographer is looking to starboard and slightly aft from above the bow. The deck by the gun turret is cluttered with boxes, ropes, and tubing. The Mark 6M director behind the bridge is trained aft. Everything aft of station 36 is out of the picture.
