On 10th May 1982, Portsmouth-based HMS Sheffield sank in the South Atlantic during the Falklands War.
Six days earlier the Type 42 destroyer had been hit by an Argentinian Exocet missile resulting in the loss of 20 crew.
Mortally damaged, Sheffield had been towed for nearly a week by HMS Yarmouth - a Rothesay class frigate which had been tasked to locate the stricken vessel as she drifted at sea.
Eddie Garlick from Chickerell in West Dorset was serving on board Yarmouth with an air engineering team looking after its embarked Portland-based Wasp helicopter.
Eddie was one of the first to board HMS Sheffield since her crew abandoned ship, and the last person to leave before she disappeared beneath the waves.
