A sad day for the Royal Navy.
No conjecture. No urban myths. No rumours. Just analysis from people who have been to sea on Type 42 destroyers.

Folks episode two is up of our Air Raid Warning Red series. Now, this is a bit nerdy but if you really want to understand what a close run thing the battle was, we felt it’s important to understand the kit a d tactics being used.

On the 20th May 1982, ships of the Royal Navy, Royal Fleet Auxiliary and merchant navy commenced the riskiest military operation carried out by Great Britain since WWII. Join the team as we discuss the landings at San Carlos and Argentinian response. It’s expert analysis by people who have served.

Five years. Two Adriatic patrols, an epic Far East jolly and some great times.
Lean about life at sea. Mess parties, S10 respirators and beer, five deck dashes and a disastrous cheese and wine party down 6D2 Warfare mess. Read about it here!

Tough gig first year on HMS Exeter. A different RN and a hard school but had its moments.

It wasn’t all fun. And it was a tough brutal school to start a career but fuck me, we did it better than most.
Cheers!

Story time with @fouthtimelucky.bsky.social
HMS Exeter 2008. A month after this was taken, she decommissioned. She was my first ship in 1990. She had been down the Falklands in 1982, and when I joined was preparing for war in the Persian Gulf. /1
Hard ships endure beyond their years, and the companies that sail them share that same resilience. The memories of that hard work and the journeys lived are carried by those who sailed them.

A junior rates mess. Quiet. Everyone has a seat. Down 3P on Exeter, there would be bunks here and the bottom one used as a couch. Mess juniors sat on the floor and yes, a smoking mess so spit kids. Big pewter ones. /14

The gunbay. Directly below the turret. You’d feed the rounds via a flashlight scuttle into the feed ring. Below in the ‘deep mag’, more hands to send up ammunition. You’d be padlocked in down the Gulf. If it was on fire, or flooding, you weren’t allowed to get out. /13

Blow off plate. These and soft plates were around the magazine (Four Five and SeaDart missile). If you had a magazine explosion, the idea was blast would vent through these ‘routes’ and maybe not take the front of the ship off /12

Phalanx sans barrel. The canvas screen left is the gun direction platform (see our episode Through The Gunsights). When I talk about noise of vent roaring? Look below the screen. That can be loud. /11

The QM’s desk. Phone, main broadcast mic, desk for DOB (daily occurrence book) .Gangway staff in CS95 uniform. /10
