On board the Royal Fleet Auxiliary replenishment ship Black Rover (1973) while under way in the North Atlantic during the NATO exercise Ocean Safari. The photographer is looking forward and to starboard from the starboard side of the bridge wing showing the guided missile destroyer Kent (1961) keeping station close alongside during a refuelling serial. Only the midships of the Kent can be seen, everything forward of the bridge, the top of her foremast and everything abaft her mainmast are out of the picture.
