HMS Sheffield

HMS Sheffield was a British Royal Navy destroyer launched in 1967, serving primarily in surface warfare and defense missions. It was part of the Royal Navy's fleet during the Cold War and participated in various operational tasks, including protecting other ships and patrolling. In 1982, during the Falklands War, the Sheffield was hit by an Argentine missile, resulting in significant damage and loss of life. The incident highlighted the dangers of modern missile technology at sea. The ship was subsequently scrapped in 1984, but its service remains notable for its role during that conflict.
