High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! HMS Glamorgan was a County-class destroyer of the Royal Navy with a displacement of 5,440 tonnes. The ship was built by Vickers-Armstrongs in Newcastle Upon Tyne and named after the Welsh county of Glamorgan. She was launched on 9 July 1964, and was delivered to the Navy two years later. From 1977 to 1979, she was the subject of a major refit, when `B` turret was replaced by four Exocet launchers. In the spring and early summer of 1982 Glamorgan was involved in the Falklands War. In the last days of the war, Argentine navy technicians fired a land-based MM-38 Exocet missile after the ship strayed too close to shore. The ship was badly damaged, and 13 sailors on board were killed. She was refitted in late 1982. Her last active deployment for the Royal Navy was to the coast of Lebanon in 1984.
