Vintage Classic: HMS Fearless

HMS Fearless (L10) was a Royal Navy amphibious assault ship that served from 1965 to 2002.
One of two Fearless-class landing platforms, she was based at HMNB Portsmouth and saw service around the world during her 37-year service. She was the Royal Navy's last steam-powered surface ship.

During the Falklands War, HMS Fearless played a significant role as part of the British Naval Task Force as she acted as the command ship for the operation. Here their Bofors guns shot down at least two Argentine attack aircraft.
Following the surrender of Argentine forces in the islands, Fearless hosted a number of high-ranking officers in the Argentine Army, underscoring the importance of her role.
