Summary

Description Starboard beam view of the former destroyer HMAS Quadrant (F01) at Port Phillip Bay, Victoria (Australia), in 1953, after her conversion to an anti submarine frigate. Externally her destroyer origins are indicated only by her funnel and hull as all superstructure above the upper deck had been replaced. The ship's new armament consistsedof a twin 40 mm Bofors Mark 5 AA mounting forward and 4 inch Mark 16 guns in a twin Mark 19 mounting aft. Note the launching rails for flare rockets fitted to the side of the mounting. The guns were controlled by the close range blind fire director sited just forward of the 4 inch mounting. A squid anti submarine mortar was fitted aft and was a distinguishing feature of this vessel, the remainder of the class having the longer barreled Limbo. A type 277 height finding radar was fitted just above the bridge. Type 293Q air surface search and type 974 navigation radars were fitted to the foremast. The ship had not yet been commissioned and is flying the red ensign. She was also not fully fitted out, missing her mainmast.
