Was the seacat firecontrol on Plymouth GWS20 or GWS22. Was it a pure optical electrical eyeball system and is that why the l9 years olds holding the missile control joystick able to hit 4 or 5 Skyhawks. There seems great dispute about how many kills Seacat actually made in the Falklands but at the time it seemed the simplest seacat fire control on the Plymouth, Yarmouth, Fearless and Intrepid ere the only ones that were efffective.

Talks are a tentitive stage to get the Plymouth to Cornwall

I remember when it came on the news that the Falklands had been invaded by the Argentineans. My first thought was why are the Argentineans invading the Scottish atlantic islands. Then I hoped they would not invade Sky as I had a cousin on the island. I felt so stupid when I found out the Falklands are at the other end of the planet. In my own defence I was only 12 at the time and almost no one had even heard of the place let alone knew where it was.

Because my next door neighbor used to serve on her and he said that almost everyone was on the weed or the coke

There were a couple of lads who were caught in a drugs bust, but that was the exception, and not the norm. When did your neighbour serve onboard?

He was on board from 1968-1985.

He could not have been onboard from 1968-1985, that was most probably the time he served in the Navy. He would have been onboard HMS Plymouth about 2 years.
