HMS Diamond D34.
The Type 45 Destroyer, HMS Diamond is the third ship in the Daring Class to be brought into service with the Royal Navy. Commissioned in 2011, she is seen here sailing down the River Test (Southampton) towards Southampton Water and the Solent having departed the Marchwood Military Port a little while earlier. The image was captured from the deck of a Red Funnel car ferry in March 2012 that was waiting to depart the Town Quay. Photographing a grey ship on a grey day against a grey sky is to me a photographic challenge!
