Trust the process. DIAMOND and her #FPDA50 allies continue to exercise fighting multiple threats from the air, on and under the water. A great opportunity to demonstrate some robust defensive capabilities as one in Ex BERSAMA GOLD 21. #shinebright @RoyalNavy #CSG21

Fuel? Ammunition? Food? Stores? Not a problem and delivered all at the same time if you are @RFAFortVictoria . Another great day to be part of #CSG21 with @HNLMS_Evertsen . #shinebright @RoyalNavy

Reflecting on a successful, busy and rewarding 2021 where HMS DIAMOND sailed further from home than she has ever been before. Here’s wishing all our friends, family and affiliates a wonderful and prosperous New Year! See you all in 2022…. #shinebright #HappyNewYear

Thank you to the majestic city of Stavanger for looking after HMS DIAMOND 💎. Members of the Ship's Company enjoyed the stunning scenery at Sverd i Fjell and Pulpit Rock.
