CLYDEs Ashore – The Falkland Patrol Vessel CLYDE recently sent a contingent ashore to spend a day on the Army Ranges on the East Falkland, and exercised with the islands’ Roulement Infantry Company, using live ammunition including grenades.     The day culminated in a tough bayonet exercise across the range.  The favour was returned with the CLYDE taking a number of the soldiers to sea overnight.    Despite rough conditions in a Falkland winter, the soldiers quickly gained their sea legs and took part in a damage control demonstration, weapons firing and flight deck sports whilst at sea.    The CLYDE is gearing up to embark 100 soldiers during routine exercises around the Falkland Islands.
