LOCK-UP ACCOMMODATION: H.M.S. Sheffield, a cruiser of the new City class, carries two Supermarine Walrus amphibian flying boats, which are housed as shown above. Of 9,000 tons displacement, the Sheffield has twelve 6in. guns and eight 4m. on twin high-angle mountings. Provision is made for a third aircraft. A multiple pom-pom, bug-bear of dive bombers, will be observed above the starboard hangar.

WING COMMANDER: This Fleet Air Arm officer is not, as appears to be the case, trying to emulate Mercury of the Short-Mayo combination; he is merely ready to hook the Supermarine Walrus on to the derrick tackle of H.M.S. Shropshire. Somebody seems due for a wallow in a minute!
