Her kedge anchor is hauled up against her stern bulwark. She has a three flag hoist and the daymark for being at anchor on her port yardarm. The 'not under control' daymark is displayed on the starboard side of the mast. She has a slight list to starboard and her pendant number is P201. She has her crest on her funnel. The 'Round Table' class logistic landing ship Sir Bedivere (1966), pendant L3004, is alongside the quay in the background.
