"Sir Tristram" and "Sir Galahad"

HC Deb 24 June 1982 vol 26 c178W

Mr. Marlow

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether "Sir Tristram" and "Sir Galahad" are still afloat and at sea.

Mr. Blaker

It has been decided that "Sir Galahad" cannot be salvaged. She is therefore being towed out to sea today and sunk. "Sir Tristram" is still afloat and we are assessing whether it will be possible to salvage her.
