'Diamond',foreground, & 'Melbourne': Photo credit UK MOD The Bahrain-based force directs the work of three distinct task groups of around six warships each, operating from the head of the Gulf to the Red Sea in the west, the shores of India and Pakistan in the east, and the Seychelles in the south - an area of some 2.5 million square miles (6.5 million square kilometres). The ships allocated to these three task forces – 150 (counter-terrorism/maritime security), 151 (counter-piracy), and 152 (maritime security in the Gulf) – typically operate as 'lone wolves', hundreds of miles away from other vessels assigned to the same force. The rare link-up between Diamond and the Adelaide Class Melbourne allowed for a series of drills and manoeuvres
