Description
Separate work parties congregate on the Ikara deck (starboard side) of the Guided Missile Destroyer HMAS Hobart during Operation Sea Dragon. As a sling containing 44 gallon drums of lubricating oil is winched onboard by highline transfer, other sailors prepare empty cordite cartridges for return. The USN Wrangell Class ammunition ship USS Diamond Head is partly visible. The ship was only able to sustain long periods on the Gunline due to the regular underway replenishments carried out at sea.
