HMAS 'Ipswich' anchored at Khor Khui, Persian Gulf, 1943
Description
HMAS 'Ipswich' anchored in the inlet Khor Khui, Musandam Peninsula, Oman. This sketch was used as a preliminary sketch for a later illustration entitled 'HMAS 'Ipswich' at Khor Khui', 1979. The long, sheltered inlet at Khor Khui was a safe refuge where vessels could anchor between periods of duty while refueling and re-supplying.
