A patrol from Battle-class destroyer HMS Barrosa (D68), aboard a perau, on a coastal patrol off the coast of Sarawak, April 1964
HMS Barrosa’s 1965-66 deployment to the Far East station. Barrosa was part of a task force supporting British operations in Borneo during the Indonesia–Malaysia Confrontation.
The sailors were tasked with carrying out stop and search patrols of local vessels suspected of smuggling weapons and equipment to communist insurgents. Off the coast of North Borneo and western Malaysia the Barrosa stopped vessels out at sea while parties of sailors used small local vessels, like peraus, to patrol the coastal waters.
