- Amazing from the air and also amazing to see some of our personnel witness this from the Bridge of Diamond and understand what all their hard work has delivered. The words ‘wow’ and ‘how cool is this!?’ were said a few times onboard! 💎⚓️ #ShineBright
00:00 - G'day! DIAMOND today begins a 3 day @RoyalNavy bilateral exercise with our friends and allies of the @Australian_Navy, first testing our Electronic Warfare skills at distance. We look forward to working with you over the coming days. #CSG21

- First T45 to visit Turku, Finland ✅️ First T45 to transit the Finnish Archipelago ✅️ 12 hours of constrained navigational waters, in and out ✅️ Many, many hours of planning and one very tired Navigator ✅️
00:00 - Having endured heavy seas through the Bay of Biscay, our transit through the Mediterranean has proved considerably calmer. It’s now time for a brief logistics resupply stop prior to commencing maritime operations alongside our NATO partners 🇮🇹🇪🇸🇨🇦🇬🇷🇹🇷🇷🇴
- Normally it’s easy to spot us, not so much when we’re mixed amongst 16 NATO warships! 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🇳🇱 🇮🇹 🇵🇹 🇫🇷 #CSG21 #WeAreNATO #ShineBright
