RFA Wave Prince being berthed in Southampton (?), possibly at the first stage of laying up at the end of her service. It appears she has had the full modernisation and was extensively used in the Cod Wars and escorting the Royal Yacht, before being scrapped in 1971.

RFA Wave Prince Showing lots of painted white tips in an effort to make her look more beautiful during the Royal Tour Downunder in 1963.
