AVB Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Just seen on the news that the flagship of the Falklands war, HMS Hermes, is now being broken up in India. I thought it had been scrapped years ago but was sold to the Indian navy in 1986 where it served until 2017. Considering it was launched in the 50’s that was some stint.
