HMS ''Clyde'' (pennant number P257) is an offshore patrol vessel and is the tenth ship in the Royal Navy to bear the name. She was launched on 14 June 2006 in Portsmouth Naval Base by VT Group shipbuilders in Portsmouth, England, and is the fourth vessel of the River class, with a displacement of 2,000 tonnes and a 30 mm Oerlikon KCB gun in place of the 20 mm gun fitted to ''Tyne'' River-class ships. ==Operational history== ''Clyde'' was the first ship built entirely in Portsmouth Naval base for 40 years and has been constructed alongside the bow and superstructure sections for the new Type 45 destroyers ''Daring'' and ''Dauntless''. She was named in a ceremony on 7 September 2006 as she had not received a traditional launching ceremony.〔(Royal Navy press release on launching of ''Clyde'' ) retrieved 11 September 2006〕 HMS ''Clyde'' was commissioned into the Royal Navy in a ceremony at Portsmouth Naval base on 30 January 2007.〔(Royal Navy press release on acceptance into fleet ) retrieved 29 January 2007〕 She and her ship's company went through a rigorous series of trials and safety training before undergoing operational sea training off Scotland. After being commissioned into active service she was sent to the South Atlantic to relieve HMS ''Dumbarton Castle'' as the Royal Navy's patrol vessel in the area based in the Falkland Islands. Unlike predecessors in this role ''Clyde'' will stay in South Atlantic waters for the foreseeable future, with a contract in place for her to remain in the Falkland Islands until 2018. In January 2011, the government of Brazil denied HMS ''Clyde'' access to Rio de Janeiro in solidarity with Argentinian claims over the Falkland Islands sovereignty dispute,〔(Brasil le prohibió amarrar en Río a un buque británico de Malvinas Brasil le prohibió amarrar en Río a un buque británico de Malvinas )〕〔(Brasil le prohibió el ingreso a un buque de guerra británico )〕 as Uruguay had done with HMS ''Gloucester'' the previous September. On November 18, 2015, HMS ''Clyde'' assisted in the rescue of 347 passengers and crew from the cruise ship ''Le Boreal'' drifting off the Falkland Islands after an engine room fire. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HMS Clyde (P257)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
