The filmed tour is meant to encourage a visit to HMAS Diamantina. The ship preserves a River-class frigate in a condition unavailable elsewhere, and the Brisbane museum and its volunteers need continuing public support to maintain her. A substantial ship history demonstrates how much of Diamantina's career lies beyond the video's necessarily selective account. Museum visits, books, and volunteer work all help preserve the vessel and the history attached to it.
