LONDON's hangar. On top is the aft British Aerospace GWS 25 Mod 3 sextuple
Seawolf SAM launcher. Just visible between the aft mast and the Seawolf
launcher is the aft Marconi Type 911 director. Just to the left of the
base of the hangar door is a very small circular escape hatch -
a strong suggestion to keep in shape, perhaps? Sandy McClearn photo. |

Looking forward along the main deck, a Marconi Stingray torpedo sits
on a cart just aft of a triple Plessey STWS Mk.2 torpedo launcher mount.
The funnel is visible to left behind the chap in the jeans and light shirt.
