The ship saw service in the Falklands War of 1982, where she was bombed and set afire at Fitzroy on 8 June. Sir Galahad was a part of the British #taskforce during the Falklands War, sailing from HMNB Devonport on 6 April 1982, with 350 Royal Marines. //See More Video Interviews On Our Website https://www.legasee.org.uk/veteran/ly... https://www.legasee.org.uk/veteran/gr... https://www.legasee.org.uk/veteran/jo... https://www.legasee.org.uk/veteran/lo... The vessel entered #SanCarlos Water, East Falkland, on 21 May. Three days later, on 24 May, Sir Galahad was attacked by a formation of strike aircraft – McDonnell Douglas A-4 Skyhawks and IAI Daggers – of the Argentine Air Force's IV Brigada Aérea. Lieutenant Luis Alberto Cervera, in a #Skyhawk, dropped a British-pattern 1,000 pound (450 kg) #bomb that lodged inside the ship, but did not detonate. The ship was also hit by cannon fire from the Daggers. #RoyalMarine volunteers returned to the Sir Galahad to assist a Royal Navy #EOD team in defusing the unexploded 1,000 lb bomb, physically carrying the bomb through to the rear tank deck ramp, where it was placed in an inflatable boat – filled with packets of cornflakes to act as padding – and taken out into San Carlos water where the boat was punctured and sunk. After removal of the unexploded bomb, the ship carried out supply runs to Teal Inlet, along with RFA Sir Percivale. On 8 June, while preparing to unload soldiers from the Welsh Guards, in Port Pleasant, Fitzroy, together with RFA Sir Tristram, Sir Galahad was attacked by three Skyhawks from the Argentine V Brigada Aérea, each carrying three US-pattern Mark 82 500 lb (227 kg) bombs, with retarding tails. At approximately 14:00 local time, Sir Galahad was hit by two or three bombs, which exploded and started fires. The explosions and subsequent fire caused the deaths of 48 crew and soldiers.

The main evacuation of the injured and wounded was organised and carried out by the ship's Royal Marine detachment. The Marines organised the launch of life rafts from the bow of the ship, whilst at the same time marshaling helicopters for personnel to be winched clear. Immediate first aid was given to those most seriously wounded and a triage system set up. BBC television cameras recorded images of Royal Navy helicopters hovering in thick smoke to winch survivors from the burning landing ships. Other units affected included 3 Troop—of 20 Field Squadron, 36 Engineer Regiment—which was temporarily attached to 9 Independent Parachute Squadron and was being transported on the Galahad to provide engineering support following the landings. Engineers feature prominently in contemporary footage showing two lifeboats landing survivors. Also on board were 16 Field Ambulance, who assisted with the treatment and evacuation of the many casualties.
