A 35mm roll film negative. On board the commando carrier Hermes (1953) in Devonport Dockyard in June 1973 towards the end of her conversion from a fixed wing aircraft carrier to a commando carrier.

Settee benches are against all of the bulkheads and a large speaker is in the corner of the smaller lounge above the settee bench. The bar is on the left with the grill shutter closed and a hopeful sailor is leaning against the bar. To the left of the opening is a telephone and above the opening is a clock reading 10.52.
