Summary
DescriptionHMAS Bataan (I91) at Sydney on 9 July 1945.JPG
Starboard bow view of the Royal Australian Navy destroyer HMAS Bataan two weeks after commissioning at Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The ship is painted dark grey all over, probably G10. She is wearing her British Pacific Fleet local pennant number (D09) rather than her normal number (I91). American SC-4 air search radar is carried at the masthead with SG surface search equipment on a small platform lower on the mast. British type 285 fire control radar is mounted above the director. Her close range armament appears to consist of a quadruple 2 pounder AA mounting on the after superstructure and single 40 mm Bofors AA guns beside the bridge, between the funnels and on the after superstructure.
