Type 45 Destroyer HMS Diamond Enters Portsmouth for the First Time
HMS Diamond, the third of six formidable air defence warships being built for the Royal Navy, arrived in her home port of Portsmouth for the first time on Wednesday September 22nd.
Built by BAE Systems, the Type 45 destroyer was launched in November 2007 from its Govan shipyard in Glasgow. Final stages of construction and systems integration were then carried out at its Scotstoun yard in the city and the ship has since been carrying out sea trials in Scottish waters.
For her arrival into Portsmouth, HMS Diamond passed the Round Tower, Old Portsmouth, at 7am. Later in the day in the Naval Base the ship will be formally handed to the Royal Navy by BAE Systems in a ceremony on the ships flight deck

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Type 45 Destroyer HMS Diamond makes a grand entrance into Portsmouth, marking her first arrival at her home port. This formidable air defense warship, the third of six being built for the Royal Navy, showcases its power and strength as it sails through the waters with grace. Constructed by BAE Systems, this impressive vessel was launched in November 2007 from Govan shipyard in Glasgow. The final stages of construction and systems integration took place at Scotstoun yard in the city before embarking on sea trials in Scottish waters. As she enters Portsmouth, HMS Diamond passes by the iconic Round Tower of Old Portsmouth at dawn. The sight is awe-inspiring as onlookers witness this magnificent ship taking its rightful place among the naval fleet. Later in the day, a momentous ceremony will take place on the ship's flight deck where BAE Systems will formally hand over HMS Diamond to the Royal Navy.
