River-class Chinook capability remains uncertain

Can a River-class patrol vessel receive supplies from a Chinook helicopter?

Merlin capability is clear, but possible Chinook testing on HMS Clyde is recalled without confirmation.

Batch 2 River-class patrol ships have Merlin-capable flight decks and can support unmanned aircraft. HMS Clyde, later Bahrain's Al Zubara, may also have undergone Chinook deck testing. The result could not be confirmed during the discussion. Merlin capability is stated clearly, while Chinook compatibility remains an uncertain recollection rather than a confirmed feature.
