A close starboard side view of the island superstructure of the Netherlands Navy aircraft carrier Karel Doorman (1943) taken from on board the Royal Navy light cruiser Tiger (1945) in the North Atlantic off north-west Scotland during the NATO exercise Flat Rock. The two ships are in close proximity to undertake a replinishment at sea exercise and the oil transfer hose is suspended from a derrick at the aft end of the island of the carrier. The carrier's 40mm bofors gun mounts are canvas covered and her pendant R81 is on the funnel. The Tiger (1945) was the flagship of Vice-Admiral F R Twiss who commanded a fleet of 46 ships drawn from six NATO nations for the exercise which took place in the waters off Cape Wrath and Loch Ewe.
