The captain of HMS Diamond said the ship made some tweaks to its tactics to repel numerous attacks by Houthi rebels in the Red Sea.

The Type 45 destroyer had a busy deployment which included shooting down seven Houthi attack drones in just one day – a record for a British warship – and becoming the first Royal Navy vessel to fire Sea Viper missiles in anger.

In an exclusive broadcast interview with BFBS Forces News, HMS Diamond's Commanding Officer, Commander Pete Evans, said: "We just followed our normal basic training."
