Gunnery Training Off Gibraltar – The Type 23 Frigate SUTHERLAND, en route to “East of Suez” to relieve sistership WESTMINSTER, used the ranges off Gibraltar during gunnery exercises in an opening salvo on the six month deployment.    The live firing was part of a series of Naval Gunfire Support exercises with 148 Battery, Royal Artillery, the specialist observers who help direct the guns of the Fleet in time of conflict – as they did with the SUTHERLAND off Libya 12 months ago.
