Looking forward from the port side of the forecastle (1) deck on board a Royal Navy Tribal class Type 81 general purpose frigate showing the foredeck while under way at sea. The forward 4.5 inch gun mount is on the right. A tanker is in the distance ahead of the bow and a hilly coastline is in the background. The name of the vessel, the location and the date are unknown but it is probably in Persian Gulf or Caribbean waters.
