EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the impressive sight of HMS Diamond, a Royal Navy Type 45 destroyer, sailing alongside HMAS Melbourne during their joint operations in the Middle East. The foreground is dominated by the sleek and powerful silhouette of HMS Diamond, which is one of Britain's six Type 45 destroyers. Launched on the Clyde with great fanfare in November 2007, this formidable vessel arrived in Portsmouth three years later and was commissioned into service in spring 2011. Embarking on her maiden deployment just a year after commissioning, HMS Diamond has proven her mettle as an essential asset to the Royal Navy. Accompanying her is HMAS Melbourne (FFG 05), an Adelaide class guided-missile frigate from the Royal Australian Navy. Originally named HMAS Torrens but renamed during construction, this remarkable ship entered service in 1992 and has since played a vital role in Australia's maritime defense capabilities. The photo symbolizes not only the strength and prowess of these two naval forces but also highlights their partnership and international cooperation. As they navigate together through challenging waters, it serves as a reminder of shared values and common goals between nations. Captured by LA (Phot) Gary Weatherston from Armed Forces, this image beautifully encapsulates both the might and camaraderie that exists within our global armed forces community.
