HMS Diomede (F16) (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! HMS Diomede (F16) was a Leander-class frigate of the Royal Navy (RN). 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." In 1972, Diomede took part in the Second Cod War during the fishing dispute with Iceland, though thankfully 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.
