@robertcuellar4132 How exactly did they fail? I take it you are an expert in Naval Warfare and have previous experience in all matters AAW? I await your window licking reply Bye the way I did numerous years on Destroyers doing AAW
I cant believe some these hostile negative comments. My dad served in the navy in world war 2 snd I can say for dure that he would've been proud of what these young sailors did and achieved. Well done lads and lasses. And stop putting down the people that are prepared to put themselves in danger unlike some of you
@@markpope9205 Yep, That is spinning, as well as the other air defence radar the huge black one behind it. The navigation radar, which I expect to be used is the small one towards aft and Starboard.
Seems she's adopted a US tradition (A cool one!), unless the RN has always had this one and not flown them so clearly. The red flag next to her large white ensign on the starboard yard looks like a 'battle flag'. Its two ace of diamonds cards with the ships crest and name. Thought that was a US exclusive tradition, usually flown on return from a deployment. Very cool to see, much like the kill markings on the bridge wing, they should be very proud of this deployment and should absolutely show it!
@@foxquetzal420 , I'm not sure if it applies here but in the age of sail a battle flag were flown port and starboard by the Royal Naval due to ships being covered in gun smoke during battle to distinguish each other. Obviously now it's just tradition when returning to port.

@@GEA_RuthlessKillaz35 not talking about Battle Ensigns (large white ensigns), talking about the red ace of diamonds flag next to it. Seen a lot of US ships with similar personal 'battle flags', first time ive noticed one on a RN ship.

Iran's proxies (slaves/cannon fodder) are flinging junk drones at civilian cargo ships. So civilized countries, like the U.K., are in the Red Sea protecting those ships.
Welcome home to the brave crew of HMS Diamond, and a great job very professionally done. Thank you one and all, for your service.🇬🇧

8 Jan 2024 - 95% of container ships that would've transited the Red Sea are now going around the Southern Tip of Africa as of this morning.

It's slightly embarrassing to get goosebumps and overly emotional on the return of vessels and crew from the British Royal Navy.
I would have thought they would have turned the air defence radars off, but nope, they keep on spinning.
It's performing simple air search. Not active lol
@@BravoCheesecake Does it even really need to do that if it is coming into home port?
On full search it would damage electrical systems up to 5 miles away.
That is their navigation radar, the air defence radar is in the ball on top of the mast
@@markpope9205 Yep, That is spinning, as well as the other air defence radar the huge black one behind it. The navigation radar, which I expect to be used is the small one towards aft and Starboard.
Thanks again for the awesome videos Cobra..been a long week and warm here as well...up to 85* some days
Enjoy the evening Cobra - Lot-3
Never let your defence down. Even in home waters.

God bless all on board. Welcome home.
From across the pond..great job , people 👍
So lucky you’re not hit by Houti missiles. Victory flags??? Hmmmm
Wish I had been there to see them arrive home ❤

@@foxquetzal420 It's always been a Royal Navy tradition. Remember the RN is a LOT older then the USN.
How old is the US navy compared to the British 💀

Welcome home HMS Diamond.
Well done diamond and crobra😊
Great vid. Bit of a blowey day though.
Tell me about it! Too windy for the tripod, too windy to hold it steady and too windy against the microphone (the wind cover helped!). Thanks!
💪🤘
Markings fighting drones? How cute 😁
Drones are the future boomer
In other words it ran away from the Houthi's which they failed to defeat .
But the Houthis could not run away cause there launchers got blown up.
@@EnglishScripter funny that they're still attacking western shipping and there's nowt the US or it's poodle Britain can do about it . They have admitted they cannot defeat the Houthi's .

The ships u supposed to be protecting are getting hit u accomplish nothing but a defense bill for the English people
Cooler designs for those kill/award marks than the giant "E" and other letters on the American ships!
Victory against who?
Houthis

Victory Marks of shoot down drones, OMG since WWII the Royal Navy has become so soft
Boomer alert!
I wouldn't call taking out a ballistic missile as nothing
Też uważam, że jak zawieszą flagę Czarnobrodego, zwycięstwo i wszystkie morza i oceany znowu wasze.
It’s called the Jolly Roger, or the Scull n Bones, and it’s only the Submarine Force that use it.

Jealous because you are not a hero
there is rust everywhere on that boat.
The new ships are covered in RAM so its not as simple as the old days where you splashed a bit of pussers grey everywhere.

Would of been alright if the old Jolly Roger flag (Back ground Black with the Skull & cross bones) Just like Black beards time .
Not allowed only 1 ship is allowed to fly that flag and it in the United state navy, no clue why tho
