		HMS Clyde's charter period under the contract extends to February 2012, the 'Castle's' original disposal date.

		In November 1997, just two years after graduating and nine months after joining the army, I was aboard HMS Leeds Castle heading for the remote Antarctic island of South Georgia, writes Captain Philip Carter (MBChB 1995).
		It wasn't until five hours later, as Leeds Castle navigated its way into Cumberland Bay, that the mist lifted and the island began to show off.
		I was to spend the next five months surrounded by high mountains, freezing seas and the island's huge populations of penguins and seals, and all I had to do was provide the medical cover for the small number of British soldiers and civilians that live there.
