HMS Diomede (F16)

HMS ''Diomede'' (F16) was a ''Leander''-class frigate of the Royal Navy. She was built by Yarrow Shipbuilders in Glasgow. ''Diomede'' was launched on 15 April 1969 and commissioned on 2 April 1971. Her nickname was "Dimweed".
==Royal Navy Service==
In 1972, ''Diomede'' took part in the Second Cod War during the fishing dispute with Iceland, though ''Diomede's'' involvement was more quiet than her involvement in the subsequent Cod War. Also that year, ''Diomede'' joined the 3rd Frigate Squadron which was then based in the Far East.
In 1974, ''Diomede'', took part in Task Group (TG) 317.2 which was a deployment that caused some controversy back in the UK when the TG, on its way to the Far East/Pacific, visited South Africa, which was at that time under apartheid rule, as well as performing military exercises with the South African armed forces. ''Diomede'', along with the nuclear submarine ''Warspite'', visited the port of Simonstown while the rest of the TG visited Cape Town. The TG, upon reaching the Far East performed a number of exercises and 'fly the flag' visits with Far East and Pacific countries. They did not visit South Africa on their return, and headed to Brazil for an exercise with the Brazilian Navy. ''Diomede'' returned to the UK in June 1975.
The following year, ''Diomede'' joined the Fishery Protection Squadron, and took part in the Third Cod War. During that conflict, in February 1976, ''Diomede'' was rammed by the Icelandic gunboat ''Baldur'', which performed a number of similar incidents to many ships during the Cod Wars. The following month, ''Diomede'' was involved in a similar incident with the same gunboat and just three days after that incident was again rammed by another gunboat, the ''Tyr'', equally active during the Cod Wars. Later that month, ''Diomede'' was rammed once again by ''Baldur''.
In 1977, ''Diomede'' took part in the Fleet Review, in honor of Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee as part of the 3rd Frigate Squadron.〔Official Souvenir Programme, 1977. ''Silver Jubilee Fleet Review'', HMSO〕
Also in the 1970s, ''Diomede'' was one of the seven ''Leander''s used as the fictional "HMS ''Hero''" for the BBC TV drama series ''Warship''. All members of the crew were given ''Hero'' cap tallies for filming purposes.
Her modernisation that would have given her Exocet and Sea Wolf was cancelled due to John Nott's 1981 Defence Review and she was intended to be placed in the Standby Squadron but the decision was repealed due to the 1982 Falklands War. During that year, ''Diomede'' was deployed to the Persian Gulf on patrol.
''Diomede'' returned to the South Atlantic in 1985 where she performed a number of patrols in the vicinity of the Falkland Islands as well as visiting the Island of South Georgia.
In 1985 she deployed again to the West Indies as the 'West Indies Guardship' accompanying HM Queen Elizabeth II aboard HMY ''Britannia''. The Queen was so impressed by the way her ship's company performed their duties, that she ordered 'splice the mainbrace'.
