A port side view, taken from abaft the beam, of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary tanker Tidereach (1954) under way after a replenishment at sea serial with the Royal Navy frigate Galatea (1963) while en route from the U.K. to Gibraltar. The stern of the tanker is just out of the picture and she is dipping her nose into the swell. The photographer is on board the Galatea looking to starboard and forward from the 40mm Bofors gun position at 02 deck level.
