A port side view of the stern of the Royal Navy guided missile destroyer Kent (1961), pendant D12, seen from on board a Royal Navy frigate during the steampast at the conclusion of the Western Fleet exercise Seaforth in the North Sea off Bass Rock. Everything forward of her hangar is out of the picture. Beyond the Kent is the frigate Galatea (1963), pendant F18, and she is leader of the 20th Frigate Squadron. The photographer is looking aft and to starboard from the roof of the hangar of his ship,the identity of which is not known, but it may be one of the frigates Danae (1965) or Juno (1965).
