Hermes (1953) in the north yard at H M Dockyard Devonport during conversion. The starboard propeller.

A roll film negative. A very close view of the edge of number one blade of the starboard propeller of the commando carrier Hermes (1953) in number 10 dry dock in the north yard of Devonport Dockyard in May 1973 towards the end of her conversion from a fixed wing aircraft carrier to a commando carrier. She recommissioned after conversion on 18 August 1973. The photographer is looking forward from close alongside the propeller boss showing the rope guard beyond the gap between number one blade and the adjoining blade.
