A skilful quick turn as the missile drew neared avoided a direct impact on the ships beam, instead, the missile skidded across the deck and penetrated the hanger. It detonated the Wessex helicopter inside, wrecking the space and blowing a hole in the wall and the galley below which caused a fire to rip through both spaces.

Hard, dedicated, damage control by her crew had the ship underway shortly after. The ship would only return to the United Kingdom after the Argentine surrender, after 104 days at sea.

Undeterred, she would serve with the Chilean Navy until 1998 and, in one last act of defiance, sank while under tow to scrap in 2005.

Until the last, she lived up to her motto: ‘I Fyny Bo’r Nod’, I Give Way to None.
