Uniparty has been running the Forces down since 1975 – no argument here, we had barely enough ships for the Task Force in 1982 (Operation Corporate) to retake the Falkland Islands. The many ships taken up from trade (STUFT) is testament to that fact with both the QE2 and SS Canberra used as troopships – very good they were too. The Royal Navy is less than 20 surface warships today, most of them under maintenance. A look back at happier times 🙂

That was the impression I got back then, even through all the triumphalism and patriotic flag waving as our flotilla sailed off. Without the overt help of Pinochet and the covert help of the USA we may not have prevailed.
