The photographer is looking aft from the port side near the Sea Dart launcher showing film crews and photographers on the quarterdeck watching the guided missile destroyers Fife (1964), Kent (1961) and Devonshire (1960) manoeuvring into line astern of the Bristol (1969). The Kent (1961) is almost completely hidden by the Fife (1964). The commando carrier Bulwark (1948) is off to starboard of the line and an Hawker Harrier aircraft is in flight above her deck.
