A port midship side view of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary oiler Wave Chief (1946) under way during the Maritime Air Defence Exercise Highwood which took place in the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea. Everything forward of her midship gantry is out of the picture, as is her stern. She is in the process of refuelling the destroyer Cavalier (1944) to starboard. The photographer is on board the frigate Rapid (1942) looking to starboard from the port side at 01 deck level as she prepares to refuel from the oiler.
