Was a disaster waiting to happen thats for sure .QE2 embarked 700 survivors from Antelope,Ardent and Coventry and headed back to the UK.We went back to Falkland sound with guards and gurkhas on board.We then left the sounds on 1st june and stayed out at sea till the surrender on 14th june at which time we went back in to pick up 4400 Argentine POWs who we returned to mainland Argentina.Our total service time was from 9th april 1982 till return to southampton 11th july 1982.Interesting postscript which i just learned.Sir Galahad was eventually sunk in deep water as a war grave by HMS Conquerer which as im sure you know was the sub that sank the General Belgrano.
