I was on the aircraft carrier USS Constellation CV-64 in 1982. We one of our Port of Call was Mombasa Africa in March. The Sheffield happened to be in port in Mombassa and met some British Sailors out in town and they brought onboard the Sheffield and gave us tour of her and gave us a inside look what a what sailor life was like on her. Little did we know on what would happen to her in the near future. She was a beautiful ship.

In 1981 I was the (Brit) RO of an Italian car carrier docked in Antwerp. It was fairly novel at the time for UK officers to be on Italian vessels, all down to evolving EU law on the movement of labour and the sharp contraction of the British merchant fleet tied to a shortage of officers in the Italian fleet. Enroute to a beer ashore I walked past RFA Sir Galahad berthed adjacent and happened to get in conversation with her loadmaster who mentioned in passing that the RFA was currently recruiting and that I'd love the great life they enjoyed. It sounded fun, but before I could do anything about it I heard the words, 'I'm having a baby' (in Australia, where I remain as an accidental kind of immigrant). I remembered his words when I saw the images of her burning at Fitzroy and I hoped he made it through. Regards to you and the USN.

The Sheffield had the nickname 'The Shiny Sheff' because a tradition had grown up of the eponymous city - Britain's Steel Town - equipping its naval namesakes with lots of stainless steel fittings. Thus they could consider themselves a cut above the standard Type 42 (and might explain the guided tour!)

Mike, Many thanks for posting what looks to be an excellent documentary series on the Falklands War. Some great footage and very insightful interviews with key protagonists on both sides. Brings back many memories for me of this time and the tensions it brought. Congratulations and many thanks for your own personal military service and your literary achievements-and not least for your marvellous RU-vid channel!

The Argies did NOT only have 3 Exocets left. France were supplying more via South Africa. I was a friend of a Captain in the SADF who saw them being delivered and shipped out to Brazil. The Argies problem was that the French Engineers who could fit and arm the missiles CHOSE to leave the Argies. Salute to those French
@Brian-om2hh
@Brian-om2hh 9 месяцев назад
It is also alleged the French provided Britain with the information it needed to jam the guidance system of the Exocet, after Argentina's first use of it.... Unfortunately, this was a while before the better CIWS systems were installed on British Royal Navy ships.....
@eltanaso3675

Argentina was evil? They tried to take back a territory that was robbed and colonised in 1833. Same as Britain did in every continent. The problem is that you chaps in the UK were educated in a way that everyone who thinks different or tries to take back what belongs to them, is evil. Wrong. Lastly, nothing against UK. Nice place.

This is a fine documentary about one of the topics of war I've always been intrigued about. I still believe though, that the war would've never happened if Britain hadn't decommissioned the old Ark Royal....with it's fast, long reach F4 Phantoms and Buccaneer fighter bombers. Those aircraft would've been a menacing deterrent for Argentina.

One of the Royal Marines who was wounded, left the Service, and disgruntled at how he had been treated by the MOD, traveled down here to Auckland, New Zealand, and by 1990-91 was working in a secondhand book shop on Victoria St West. He was going out with a female friend of mine and was friends with my cousins husband who was in the RNZN. He occasionally used to come to parties and go tramping with us. He was quite happy seeming, and fit in very well with life here. The only time he talked about the Falklands that I remember was talking about how badly treated he was after he was wounded, or so he felt.

I recall scoffing to myself when I saw a company of British soldiers on a wharf at Portsmouth receiving the order from their RSM "To the Falkland Islands, quiiiick...march!" My first though was how pathetic a response it looked. Little did I know how well trained these men were and what a fight they'd put up. That said however, it was later acknowledged that had the war gone on for 4 or 5 weeks longer, the campaign may have been lost owing to the distance of the supply lines.

The Falklands have never belonged to Argentina. Therefore, Argentina should not own something it has no right to own and has never owned. The UK is the lawful Original Sovereign of the Falklands, and claimed them first, in 1594, 222 years before Argentina existed. In 1825 Argentina submitted a full description of all of its lands, islands, latitudes and longitudes claimed, to the UK, in order to be recognised in the Treaty of Friendship: this did not include the Falklands, and Argentina was accepted as such. In 1829 Argentina tried to clandestinely seize the Falklands and ignored a British Formal Diplomatic Protest, and a second in 1832 when they tried to install a governor. In 1833 a British warship asked a trespassing Argentine warship to leave the area which it duly did. The British flag was hoisted and British Sovereignty resumed. Argentina protested intermittently until 1849 when it gave up its claim in the Convention of Settlement, after which, Argentina issued not one Formal Diplomatic Protest for 97 years until 1946, nor were the Falklands mentioned once in the Argentine Congress from ratification of the Convention in 1850 until 91 years later in 1941. Since then, using a settled dispute as a pretext for a fictitious new one, aimed at uniting the people behind a common cause, Argentina has harassed and bullied the Falkland Islanders, denied their human rights, campaigned against their existence, attacked, invaded and annexed their country, covered the place in land mines and dead bodies, and in the present day, bullies their stallholders at trade shows and even their girls badminton team. No country on earth actually has less right to the Falklands than Argentina after its shambolic abuses, and in 2013 the Falkland Islanders, the only people who can determine the sovereignty and political future of the Falkland Islands, voted by 99.8% for UK Sovereignty. The matter is settled.

I'm Brazilian, and I was 16 in 1982. I remember that I felt a sort of relief when Argentina invaded the Falklands, because we knew in Brazil that the political and economic situation there where explosive and, because of the tradicional rivality between our people, we feared that the argentinians could decide to attack us, with the same populist intentions. They were searching for a war. They almost declared war to Chile. It was tense. Well, we must thank US for supporting that sort of dictatorships in our region... Dictators are dictators, no matter where they are. They are always insane and dangerous.

The irony is that the British military, including the Royal Navy and the RAF was order of magnitude larger and more potent than today. OK, today the Royal Navy has a more powerful aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth, but her air wing consist of just a few F-35Bs, less than 24 Harriers that the British task force had to fight the Argentinians in 1982. And the RAF doesn't have a single strategic bomber in its fleet, something similar to Avro Vulcans that prosecuted a successful attack on the Falklands at the beginning of an operation. I wonder and doubt that the GB's military force could execute a similar win against Argentina today. Maybe in 5-7 years when the second aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales becomes operational and both carriers receive a full complement of F-35s ( I think it's around 24 aircraft per ship), GB would once again have the upper hand. On the other hand the Astute class submarines are so advanced that only 2-3 of them could probably sink the entire Argentinian fleet... That being said, I think that the Russian invasion of Ukraine has changed the strategic environment in Europe so profoundly that I expect a massive rearmament of all Western powers with Germany being the most in your face example. But than again the German military was so neglected and underfunded that even those 100 billion euros of additional investment will only scratch the surface of all the problems that have been compounded in their security policy of the last 20 years.. Beside Germany countries like POland, the Baltic states, Bulgaria, Romania, France and Italy will also significantly boost their military spending.. Great Britain should be no different. Money will roll in at the levels similar to the ones seen during the height of the Cold War..

Even if we put Falklands on the side, and I give it to you as a win, you can't get over the fact that the British Army has around 225 tanks all together. The Navy is in even worse situation. At one point there was a fear that the Royal Navy wasn't capable of defending their own shores (out of the generally small number of large surface combatants some were in repair) let alone conduct combat operations in the Pacific region for example... You have too few of everything. From destroyers to frigates to submarines. Royal Air force is also extremely small... Before you attack me I also think that the US military was gutted too, despite the seemingly large annual defense budgets. We were gutted by the 20 years of counter insurgency warfare which neglected investments into weapons and technologies needed for a near peer combat scenarios..
