Speaker Meeting at Mr Miles, High Street, Taunton

If your ship is hit by two Argentinian bombs and neither explode, you might be feeling lucky.   But one struck the engine room disabling the power and the other hit one of your own guided missiles, killing some of the crew and starting a serious fire.  With no power to move the ship or fight the rapidly spreading blaze and two large unexploded bombs on board, the situation looks bleak.

David Lewis, who was weapons officer on board  HMS Argonaut during the Falklands conflict, will take up the story and explain how he and most of his ship mates lived to tell the story.
