Description
A stores party 'strikes down' ammunition onboard the Guided Missile Destroyer HMAS Hobart in the Tonkin Gulf. Pallets of shells are received on the Ikara deck after replenishment from the Wrangell class ammunition ship USS Diamond Head (not pictured). Two sailors are lowering two shells to the next deck down for positioning on the ammunition hoist. In an open hatch door below, a sailor carries a cordite container for transfer to its magazine for storage.
