During the Falklands War my father was at the tail end of his time on HMS Coventry, a Type 42 Destroyer. He was supposed to disembark on the way at Gibraltar but was unable to. He was finally helicoptered off Coventry on the morning of 25th May, 1982. She was sunk a few hours later and was hit in the engine room which was his duty station, the engineer that took over his station was killed.

Great grandad was a First World War veteran, army. My grandfather was Army, British Parachute Regiment. He fought in the Korean War and built bridges in what were, at the time, British Empire Colonies (Malaya, Borneo, Singapore) My father was Royal Navy, serving mostly on our carrier HMS Invincible. He was present for the Gulf and Yugoslavia, he was a marine engineer. I almost joined the RAF throughout the UAS (University Air Squadron), but by the time I had researched it and gone to apply, I'd missed the cut-off date by 2 days! I could have waited a year but decided against it and just went to university. And nobody else in my family cohort (nan and granddad's grandchildren) joined the military, my father was the last.

@RaptorFromWeegee Actually they bombed her, I think they only hit the Atlantic conveyor with Exocet. They made sure they couldn't get those missiles anywhere near the fleet and couldn't buy any more.
