In a senior rates' mess on board a Royal Navy Tribal class Type 81 general purpose frigate. The photographer is looking into a corner of the mess showing a triple tier bunk unit against the left bulkhead. A painting of a Tribal class frigate is hanging above a cupboard on which are cans of beer and a bottle of spirit. The name of the vessel, the location and the date are unknown but it is probably in Persian Gulf or Caribbean waters.
