Description
To what I imagine will be a collective sigh of relief I offer herewith the last in my old series of Chatham Dockyard views taken on July 8, 1982. These photographs have, at least, provoked some interested comment so I suppose it was worth putting them in the gallery. In the background, over the cluttered stern of the Rothesay class frigate HMS Berwick (see my picture 'Make smoke'), can be seen HMS Zulu, one of the Tribal class ships then being reactivated to replace ships on deployment to the South Atlantic or under repairs after Falklands battle damage.
