A distant starboard broadside view of an unidentified tanker under way at sea.

A distant starboard broadside view of an unidentified tanker under way at sea, taken from on board an unidentified Royal Navy Tribal class type 81 general purpose frigate. The tanker has her foremast in the forward well and her mainmast is against the aft superstructure. She has a midships bridge and her funnel is a light colour with a single broad dark band on it. The names of both vessels, the location and the date are unknown but it is probably in Persian Gulf or Caribbean waters. The horizon is not quite level.
