On board the type 81 general purpose frigate HMS Ashanti (1959) alongside North Corner Jetty in Portsmouth Dockyard. The photographer is looking forward from 46 station on the port side of 02 deck showing the AWG whip aerial on the roof of the enclosed bridge. The canvas covered air lookout sights are in the right foreground. The ship is berthed starboard side to the jetty and the bow of the frigate Euryalus (1963) can be seen on the left. In the background on the right are the scaffolded masts of the frigate Chichester (1955). The presence of this vessel means this negative must have been taken after mid-July 1972. A vertical format negative.
