Hansen, Leslie W.
(photographer)
The 5,600 ton guided-missile destroyer HMS Glamorgan at Cardiff, c. 1974. This vessel was built on the Tyne in 1964 and was one of the County class of guided-missile destroyers. Note the awnings and side-screens on the foredeck, presumably for a civic reception. This vessel was sold to the Chilean Navy in 1986 and re-named Almirante Latorre.
