The Federation needs you!
Back in the 1980's, once the Falklands Conflict was over, they used a couple of old ships, with a load of shipping containers bolted onto the decks, to house all the garrison troops.
However, in the interim, they had a lot of extra vessels for the same purpose.
That is what I have faint memories of from the news and documentaries - I recall some fairly large size ship being shown and apparently this was an ARMY ship, crewed by Army personnel.
Does the British Army still have it's own, not Royal Navy, ships?
Or was this a hybrid special ship just for the Falklands?
Thanks
Danny
