The utmost respect to Andy and his ship mates. Captain Mike Barrow is the only person in history to have his ship hit by an Exocet and survive. Forward thinking and planning saved his ship. From the Sea Freedom. Desire the Right.

I was also on HMS Glamorgan in 1982. It was a shocking and very sad day for all of us. God bless those that did not return home with us.

@@tristansimoncini1511 De acuerdo a Inskip (QEPD) vió pasar el misil a media milla más o menos. En el buque recibieron la orden de tirarse a piso porque asumieron que les pegaba, pero el Exocet tenía otro destino. No sé si finalmente le pegó al Invencible, y si le pegó, cuánto daño le hizo, pero queda claro que la corrida final de tiro no fue sobre la Avenger, que estaba a 20 millas del portaaviones. En ese sentido, Tinker (QEPD) afirmó el 08/6/82 que sus compañeros en la cubierta superior del Glamorgan vieron pasar al misil cerca de ellos.

You said 'sorry'. Sir, you have no need to say sorry at all. I, and anyone who watched what was happening during that War. Can do nothing but hold you, and all of those onboard that day, in the highest esteem. To continue doing what you were trained to do, in the bleakest possible conditions, takes true Valor. To offer respect to those who died, and to the families, who still live with that loss, can never be enough. Thank you.

Another very brave man, thank you.

Thank you for your service and courage. Don't apologize for your emotions.

I am currently serving, 15yrs done so far... I salute you mate :)

It's people like Andy and you that make the Royal Navy the respected Service it is. Sapper Veteran.

Bravo, Sir! Much respect.

God bless All who serve and have served..and still live with the reacuring nightmares..My husband is ex Royal Navy and we support PTSD RESOLUTION...

Job well done!! Love how you remembered "Tiny" from the Royal Marines - that means he was probably about 6' 4" and 18 stone (for those born after 1982 thats 193cm and 144Kg ;-)). All giant Royals are called Tiny!!

Yes he was that small and a great rugby player as well

Respect to all of our ex and serving personal and may all of our fallen 🙏 🕊

Just as well the ship turned and leaned over so much. If the missile hit at normal height it could have set off the Sea Slug magazine. Which i think ran a third of the length of the ship back from the launcher. Can't believe its 40 years ago since the Falklands war. R.I.P to all those still on patrol.

Respect Brother - proud to have served

Respect to Andy and all of those who fought for our country. I hope everyone takes time to support our veterans.

A real life hero.

Bravo Sir and thanks

Right to be proud, Andy. Real heroism in the fear and alarm. I'm proud of you and I'm sure everyone else is too. Also, I must thank Forces News for this video and others. You've done a great job. Without remembering and sharing, the thing may not have happened.

God bless to all😢

I was in the RN Airarm at the time and had been drafted shoreside from one of the other ships that was sunk a couple of months before the invasion. I have never felt so left behind in my life when the Task Force sailed with my shipmates. I knew people who did not come back, and that still affects me, so no need to say sorry for the memories affecting you. The sun shone on the rightious that evening.

respect to all the Royal Navy sailors. they took grave risks for their Royal Marine brothers, and no doubt saved the lives of many Marines by staying on station until the 11th hour.

Heros, all of them. They should be immensely proud.

Thank you, Sir, you are a great person!

Well done sir you fore filled your duty with honour and distinction

Top bloke. Served with him and am still mates with him today. BZ Feller.

Respect

I do think people seem to only think of the land battles not the sea and air battles. All brave souls.

My brother was CPO on Glamorgan. Steven Horne. Miss you brother. Sleep easy.

Remember the day well Andy and as you said how surreal the sea conditions were when we buried our dead, not a day i will forget in a hurry and it also helps me remember my wife's birthday as that is the same day so a happy and sad day the 12 June

Always remembered by Antrim '82 BZ

Respect...

Digan la verdad sobre el ataque al Invencible! ¿Por qué no hablan sus tripulantes? ¿No se los permite la ley de secretos?

Malvinas Argentinas ayer hoy siempre

That would honestly be terrifying out at sea and your ship is sinking or on fire I couldn't be in the navy i like my feet on the ground

Las Malvinas son Argentinas!!!
