SUTHERLAND Deploys – The Type 23 Frigate SUTHERLAND has sailed from Devonport to begin six months deployment in the Indian Ocean, and is to replace sister ship WESTMINSTER.  The SUTHERLAND (known as the Fighting Clan) since the end of the last deployment at the end of her 2011 has received the latest version of the SEAWOLF missile system – effectively doubling the range of the air defences should the ship come under air attack.    The SUTHERLAND all being well will be back in home waters just before Christmas (2012).
