6172. Another image almost identical to one taken on nthe same day and shown earlier, this immediate post-WWII image of the destroyer HMAS QUICKMATCH is added for its comparative rarity.

Thge angle here is also somewhat wider - and the 1705-2500 ton [full load] QUICKMATCH appears to be going astern on this blustery day in late 1946.
