A slightly distant port bow view 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. The stern of the frigate Galatea (1963), pendant F18, is on the left and she is leader of the 20th Frigate Squadron. Two other Leander class frigates are astern of the Galatea. 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). It has a decorative wind vane in the shape of a relaxing female figure. Two Leander class frigates are astern of the photographer's ship .
