The destroyer was part of the task force sent to war in the Falklands. 20 men lost their lives as an Exocet missile hit the side of the ship.

It was an event which shocked many, and today still evokes painful memories.

BBC Look North's Tom Ingall was given exclusive access as the ship's current crew prepared to commemorate the tragic events of 20 years ago.

Now you can hear and watch his reports online.
