The Royal Navy destroyer Diana (1952) from on board the Royal Fleet Auxiliary fleet replenishment ship Olna (1965) in the English Channel during the NATO exercise Peacekeeper.
On board the Royal Fleet Auxiliary fleet replenishment ship Olna (1965) while under way in the English Channel during the NATO exercise Peacekeeper. The photographer is on the starboard side of the forward superstructure looking aft and to starboard showing the after part of the Royal Navy destroyer Diana (1952) steaming close alongside taking on bunkers. Her pendant number is D126 and a board on her bridge reads "Welcome alongside. You are the 15th ship alongside this commission and we are the bestest damn destroyer.". Everything forward of her bridge is out of the picture. A man is being transferred by jackstay aft.
