No sooner is HMS Diamond launched, than the next one, HMS Dragon is on its way! The bow section for HMS Dragon was out of the sheds, awaiting transfer to the shipyard slipway at the time of the launch of Diamond.
This barge, containing the Type 45 Destroyer Mast and other components, was being towed upriver yesterday, headed for BAE Glasgow. An idea of scale can be taken from the men seen sheltering under it.
