See drop-down box for suggested article edit guidelines:

Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty!
Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements.
At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

This article was created or improved during the "The 20,000 Challenge: UK and Ireland", which started on 20 August 2016 and is still open. You can help!

Falmouth 1982[edit]

A couple of things to update on the Armament and history.

I served in Falmouth between July 82 and January 83. In that time, following a work up at Portland, we crossed the Atlantic to serve as Belize Guard Ship. Several visits to Belize sandwiched around visits to Vera Cruz, Mexico, Houston, Texas, St Peterburg, Florida, and the islands of Dominica, Tortola, Martinique, Barbados and Grand Caymen returning to Portsmouth December 82.

The 40mm gun had been replaced by a single Seacat Sponson (4 missiles) and one of the Limbo Mortars sets was removed, I believe, to make way for the flight deck and Wasp helicopter. 2A00:23C7:5D4C:4D01:9C8E:9A11:8E83:D518 (talk) 09:09, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
