A close view of the port forward part of the French destroyer Chevalier Paul (1953) coming close to the Royal Navy light cruiser Tiger (1945) for a light jackstay transfer during NATO exercise Flat Rock in the North Atlantic off north-west Scotland. Men are gathered on her forecastle and her pendant number is D626. Everything aft of the bridge is out of the picture. 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 between 16 and 24 October 1963.
