This one is for fans of the starboard side, Laurie.
We are looking aft (rear) on the starboard (right) side. This is the “fantail” section of the ship. In the upper left we see the pontoon fuselage of one of the ship’s “floatplanes”, in position on the catapult. In the lower right corner is one of the 8″ guns.
