A starboard quarter view of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary tanker Tidesurge (1954) under way in the Indian Ocean. The photographer is on board the Royal Navy general purpose frigate Ashanti (1959) as she approaches the Tidesurge (1954) to carry out a replenishment at sea evolution. The hose derrick is already swung out on the Tidesurge (1954). The pendant number of the Tidesurge is A98 and her stern is just out of the picture.
