No. 5 [Lower Hangar] Deck, location 5GZ0. Interior of the Torpedo Stowage compartment, looking forward towards bulkhead 55 and the door to the Machinery/Generator compartment. To the left are torpedo stowage bays with thirty six torpedoes on racks with their propeller units covered with protective caps. A 'Paliton' trolley is parked nearby.

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.
