Description
At sea off Vietnam. The after deck of HMAS Hobart II, guided missile destroyer, during a transfer of crude oil for Hobart's boilers. A crude oil line from a US tanker is visible between the ships. The crew member near the line is wearing a Mae West life jacket, which had to be worn by all crew at all times whilst out on the line.
