The interior of the Admiral Superintendent's office in No. 8 The Parade, Portsmouth Dockyard. This view is looking from his personal desk along the centre of the room and a conference table is in the foreground. Naval message pads and ash trays are on the conference table. The ash trays are made from brass shell cases fired on D-Day, the nearest being a 4.7" from the Faulknor, then a 4" from the Roberts and a 5.25" from the Black Prince. A clock on a small table is reading 13.58. Around the walls are models of the destroyer Porcupine (in two pieces), an LCT(R), H.B.W. 24 (Persephone), a T class submarine and a steam gun boat. Outside the window is a model of the destroyer Duncan. A fireplace is on the right.
