1988 Time Capsule aboard Old RN Frigate
An Excellent photo essay from the Daily Mail detailing the sad rusting hulk of HMS Plymouth, the Rothesay-class frigate who played a key role in the Falkland Islands War. It was aboard Plymouth where the surrender of Argentine Forces in South Georgia was signed by Lieutenant Alfredo Astiz in 1982. In 1988 the thirty year old obsolete warship was decommissioned and has spent the past 24 years as a museum. However, she is now been sold for scrap and will soon be razor blades.
