HMS Ulster (R83) in 1951. Picture taken from HMS Illustrious

HMS Ulster (R83) was an U- and V-class destroyer built for the Royal Navy during World War 2 under the Wartime Emergency Programme. This class constituted the 7th and 8th Emergency Flotilla's. Ulster, like many of the WEP destroyers was converted into an anti-submarine frigate in 1953 - in this case to the Type 15-class and was given a new pennant number (F83).

From 1942 to 1948, the letter 'R' was used as an identifier for destroyers. In 1948 this was changed to the letter 'D'. So HMS Ulster was launched as R83, and changed to D83 before this photo was taken.

Australia:
Unshipping the foremast of HMVS (Her Majesties Victorian Ship) Nelson during her cutting down to a single deck, Williamstown Dockyard, c. 1879-82

Named in honour of Admiral Lord Nelson, the vessel was launched in England in 1814. When built, she was the largest Line of Battleship in the Royal Navy and was similar to Nelson's famous 'Victory'.

The ship was fitted with steam engines in the 1850s and was steamed to Australia as part of the then Royal Victorian Navy's establishment. She arrived in Williamstown, Victoria, on 4 February 1868. In 1887 she had one more deck and two masts removed, appearing as shown here. She was still rated as a warship but was used more for training and social activities. In April 1898 'Nelson' was sold and towed to Sydney to be further cut down. The hulk was ultimately towed to Hobart, Tasmania, for stripping.
