A close starboard side view of the of the Royal Navy light cruiser Tiger (1945) under way in the North Atlantic off north-west Scotland during NATO exercise Flat Rock. She is steaming in close proximity to the Danish Navy depot ship Aegir (1937), from which the photograph was taken, in order that Vice-Admiral Frank R Twiss could be jackstay transferred back to his flagship from the Aegir (1937). Twiss was commanding a fleet of 46 ships drawn from six NATO nations for exercise Flat Rock which took place in the waters off Cape Wrath and Loch Ewe between 16 and 24 October 1963 and during the course of the exercise he made jackstay transfers from the Tiger (1945) to the Dutch aircraft carrier Karel Doorman (1943), the French destroyer Chevalier Paul (1953) and the Danish depot ship Aegir (1937). The Tiger's stern and everything forward of the second funnel are out of the picture. Her 'Y' turret is trained forward on the starboard side.
