HMS Arrow F173 Type 21 Frigate May 1982 Falklands Photo Print

Royal Navy Type 21 Frigate HMS Arrow (F173) is pictured alongside HMS Sheffield (D80), a Type 42 destroyer, during the Falklands War as efforts were made to rescue crew following the devastating missile strike. This powerful image captures a critical moment in modern Royal Navy history, reflecting both the intensity of the conflict and the bravery of those involved in damage control and rescue operations at sea.

On the 4th of May 1982, HMS Sheffield (D80) was struck by an Argentine Exocet missile during the Falklands War. The impact caused catastrophic damage and fires that ultimately led to the ship sinking on the 10th of May 1982. The attack resulted in the loss of 20 crew members and marked the first time a Royal Navy warship had been lost in combat since the Second World War. HMS Arrow (F173) a 21 Frigate, played a vital role in assisting with rescue efforts and supporting the stricken vessel in the immediate aftermath.

• Are your images adjusted or cropped?
  Depending on the image, we may need to crop or resize slightly to get the best result. Our framers use their experience to choose the most visually pleasing option, which can occasionally mean a slightly different frame shape to the preview shown. Either way, the finished product will always be the size you selected, or larger, never smaller.
• Is the mount colour always the same?
  We provide a bright white mount as standard. If you'd like a different colour, please contact us.
• Do you offer other frame styles?
  Yes, we have hundreds of frames available. Website limitations mean we can't list them all, so if you have a particular colour or style in mind, please get in touch and we'll talk you through the options.

  No, all of our available images are shown on the site, though we add new ones regularly.
