Incidentally my captain was given a quiet reprimand form the admiral's staff for insisting that over 300 enemy soldiers remove their combat helmets. These helmets were flown by our helicopter to Cardiff and distributed amongst the crew for souvenirs. It is against the Geneva Convention to remove protective clothing from prisoners of war whilst they remain in an area of actual or potential hostilities.The next day Cardiff was ordered to anchor outside Puerto Argentino and make available to the Harbour Master:1. A diving team (I was part of the team).2. An officer and crewmen for the GC82 Islas Malvinas.3. Logistical support.Islas Malvinas was abandoned alongside the jetty in Puerto Argentino with mechanical problems so a team from Cardiff went ashore and made repairs. Shortly afterward she was sailed out of harbour and brought alongside Cardiff (photograph posted here). I think the Harbour Master had plans to use her to act as some kind of delivery vessel, providing logistical support to settlements around the Islands.I went onboard Islas Malvinas shortly after she came alongside Cardiff. She was in very good condition and looked perfectly operational. Our captain ordered the 50 calibre machine guns to be removed and mounted on Cardiff. The inflatable boat was removed and taken home by a crewman.Islas Malvinas was the renamed HMS Tiger bay. Tiger Bay is a notoriously harsh suburb near the docks in the Welsh city of Cardiff. Her first British commanding officer was the late Lieutenant Christopher Waters R.N. my diving officer.I have always had affection for the little Argentine ship that fell into our hands on Cardiff after an exhausting several weeks of war and happy to have recently corresponded with Prefecto Jorge Carrega who was her Captain in 1982.---------- Post added at 22:03 ---------- Previous post was at 21:52 ----------I went to one site (The red and green life machine) and found the names you require:2 Scots Guards commanding officer - Lieutentant Colonel Mike Scott40 Commando commanding officer - Lieutenant Colonel malcolm Hunt.Ken traducción.    Fui a un sitio (el rojo y el verde máquina de vida) y ha encontrado los nombres que necesite:2 Scots Guards comandante - el teniente coronel Mike Scott40 Commando comandante - Teniente Coronel Malcolm Hunt.</blockquote>
