On board the Royal Navy frigate Galatea (1963) while in the Strait of Gibraltar en route from the U.K. to Gibraltar. The photographer is on the quarterdeck (1 deck level) right aft looking forward showing the Westland Wasp HAS.1 helicopter XT443, coded 452, on the landing pad. Both of the quadruple Seacat missile launchers on the hangar roof have one missile loaded. Some of the men on deck are off duty and are wearing civilian clothes, including one man wearing a "Keep on trucking" T-shirt.
