They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Mike, I'm moved by your tribute and the extent of your personal involvement with that ship and her crew.

I was glued to my television instead of attending classes during that war. I remember the attack on the task force and if I remember correctly it was the first British ship sunk in 40 years at the time. While it was in fact hit on the 4th I think it sank a few days later.

I too will pause today to remember the sailors killed on the Sheffield and the other three Royal Navy Ships and men during that conflict.
