		At approximately 10 A.M. on the 4 May, HMS Sheffield was at defence watches, second degree readiness, as part of the British Task Force dispatched to the Falkland Islands during the Falklands War.

	Sheffield class guided missile destroyers
		The principle role of the Sheffield class Type 42 destroyers is to provide area air defence for a task force and since their introduction into service they have constituted the fleet's principle anti-air warfare capability.
		Their initial presence meant the British ‘Sheffield class’ Type 42’s sent to the South Atlantic had to have a large fl stripe painted down their sides for easy identification.
		During the Falklands Conflict (1982) this was a major problem as HMS Sheffield was destroyed not by the detonation of the Exocet missile, but by the fires that spread through the ship at a rapid rate.

		But the tech rep team remained and continued to assist the Argies on the Entendard and the Exocet, without which help the Argies could not have sunk HMS Sheffield (D80, type 42 destroyer).
		Sheffield took the hit effectively MOT with a 90 track.
		It is significant to note that carrier HMS Invincible (RO5, ASW Command carrier) was in a direct projected line of the incoming missile's track which would have been a good payback for the sinking of Belgrano the previous day.

		Sheffield, lead ship, was originally fitted with unsightly exhaust cowls on her funnel to cure efflux problems, but these did not work, and the problems were later resolved by other means.
		HMS Sheffield, the lead and name ship of the class was the first to succumb to the daring attacks by the Argentinian Air Force, on the Fourth of May 1982.
		Except for HMS Iron Duke, all of this class are named after Dukedoms, and although these names have come under some criticism for being 'soft' and uninspiring, they are actually far from soft in terms of historical events and figures of importance.
