Junella was a fishing trawler, best known for her service with the Royal Navy (as mine countermeasures vessel HMS "Junella") during the Falklands War. She was built in 1975 for J Marr &amp; Son, a Hull-based fishing company. On 11 April 1982 she was taken up from trade by the British government and commissioned into the Royal Navy. She was fitted with Second World War era minesweeping gear at Rosyth Dockyard, manned by Royal Navy sailors and allocated to the 11th Mine Countermeasures Squadron. She sailed on 26 April but was unable to commence sweeping until after the 14 June Argentine surrender. In the meantime she was utilised to transfer troops and stores between ships and landed special forces troops at San Carlos. Demining operations commenced on 21 June. "Junella" returned to the United Kingdom on 11 August, carrying a defused Argentine mine.
