RICHMOND Firing – the Type 23 Frigate RICHMOND has completed the successful firing of two SEA WOLF surface-to-air missiles during a training exercise.      As part of the trial, conducted in exercise areas off the south west coast of England, the ship fired a 'telemetry' missile loaded with recording sensors to allow in-depth analysis of the its performance by the Royal Navy.. This was followed up with a conventional 'warshot' missile, where both weapons destroyed their target with ease.
