Jim, as I understand it, it was part of a later refit on the original 
design. This class is now out of service in Australia,
replaced with the Collins class. Onslow is on display at the Maritime 
Museum, next to a retired destroyer from the guns era. 
Here's a link if you are interested.

My background is aircraft, in fact one year with a maritime patrol squadron. 
I was absolutely horrified with the interior
accommodations when I toured through this vessel. I have no idea how anyone 
manages to function let alone live in such cramped
conditions.
Thanks for looking at the pics.

Cheers
Hoppy

Hoppy,

That's a very interesting bow on the Onslow.  Is that a "one of a kind" 
sonar installation, or was that a common configuration?
