Summary

Description Aerial starboard bow view of the former Australian destroyer HMAS Quiberon (G81) after her conversion to an anti submarine frigate (new pennant "F03"). Externally her destroyer origins are indicated only by her funnel and hull as all superstructure above the upper deck has been replaced. The ship's new armament consisted of a twin 40 mm Bofors Mark 5 AA mounting forward and 4 inch Mark 16 guns in a twin Mark 19 mounting aft. Note the launching rails for flare rockets fitted to the side of the mounting. The guns were controlled by the close range blind fire director sited just forward of the 4 inch mounting. Its cover has been retracted and it is trained to port revealing the antenna of the type 262 fire control radar. Two Limbo anti submarine mortars and their magazines were fitted in an echelon arrangement aft. A type 277 height finding radar was fitted just above the bridge. Type 293Q air/surface search and type 974 navigation radars were fitted to the foremast.
