No 4 [Lower Gallery] Deck, location 4V0: Interior of the aft Chief Petty Officers Mess, looking forward towards the bulkhead at frame 157. The furnishings are still in place and the bar is off to the left.

This is part of a series of photographs taken during the final stages of HMS Ark Royal's last major refit which was completed in 1970. The location references are derived from the deck plans in the latest edition of the ship's NBCD book.
