Description
A pallet of fuzed ammunition arrives onboard the Guided Missile Destroyer HMAS Hobart during Sea Dragon operations in the Tonkin Gulf. A work party of sailors, dressed in protective clothing, move the ordnance which has been delivered from the Wrangell class ammunition ship USS Diamond Head partly visible in the background. Replenishment at sea ensured the ship could manitain a sustained period of operational activity on the gunline.
