Rear Admiral Chris Parry will describe his personal experience of combat in the Falklands War of 1982, which included the detection and disabling of the Argentinian submarine Santa Fe (ex-USS Catfish), the rescue of 16 Special Air Service troopers from a glacier in a hurricane and the amphibious landings at San Carlos Water which led to the successful capture of the Falkland Islands.
