Griffiths911,

Your diagram does indeed look like the ACO attack and matches closely the diagram in post 217 if viewed from the NE.

Reydelcastillio,

HMS Avenger was attacked on the morning of the 28th May by a shore based MM38 whilst on the Gun Line off Stanley. It was seen by the crew at the time, but for some strange reason, no general warning was broadcast and the news slowly filtered out over the next few days. Had a warning been given the gun line positions would have been altered and the ships closed up at action stations for longer. On Glamorgan, the launch was seen from the ship, the Exocet seen on 992 yet their was still confusion as to what it was. The PWO thought it could have been a helicopter. Maybe fatigue played a part in this as well.
