No. 3 [Upper Hangar] Deck, location 3C. Looking aft from near the centreline of the Cable Deck. A group of sailors are conversing to the left of the picture. Spare planks can be seen stowed in overhead racks, while to the left the steam capstan for the port anchor is visible. The doorway to the right leads into an airlock.

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.
