Destroyers of British Commonwealth Navies tied to a mooring bouy at a southern Japanese port (presumably Sasebo), after "an extended period of operations in Korean waters", circa in May 1951. The ships are (from left): HMAS Warramunga (D123) (Australian Destroyer, 1942); HMCS Nootka (DDE 213) (Canadian Destroyer, 1946) and HMS Cockade (D34) (British Destroyer, 1945). All three were assigned to the United Nations Blockading and Escort Force, then commanded by Rear Admiral Allan E. Smith, USN.
