Ordeal by Exocet
HMS Glamorgan was in the thick of the fighting throughout the war. Incorporating vivid firsthand accounts and illustrated with photographs, the book also portrays the daily life of an escort under wartime conditions and describes only too clearly the tension, fear, storm, cold, disaster and sorrow which were so close at hand. Her role for most of the time was that of an expendable escort and she became the only ship to survive an Exocet hit.
There is a detailed account of the successful deception plan, Operation Tornado, and the impact of the war on the families left at home. New light is shed on the Belgrano affair and startling facts are revealed about other incidents including the high level conduct of the war. While attacking the enemy, Glamorgan faced missiles, bombs, shells and rockets.
Personal accounts recall these attacks, and other operations including the Pebble Island raid.
