During the ‘Fighting Clan’s’ time on patrol within the region the ship has conducted boarding operations on suspect vessels and also reassurance visits to build relationships with mariners and obtain information on pattern of life in the area. In addition the ship also participated in numerous exercises with coalition and allied forces in the region to strengthen ties and improve interoperability.
