This one is for Bruce in Adelaide. A friend put these up on FB tonight. Thought you might like to see them. Aparently alongside at HMAS STIRLING in the mid 80's. DERWENT and SWAN berthed outboard.

The lighting looks like that is off the West Australian coast. Something very distinctive about the sky. Big bugger isn't she. Not much of her left now. Saw a photo of her recently and she is just the hull with no superstructure at all left. Main deck is all that is left of her.
