The L/S Golly who fired the chaff bloom that the Exocet flew through before picking up & hitting the Atlantic Conveyor went gaga for a bit. The PO(EW) went on to be an instructor at Dryad.
The Atlantic Conveyor only lost 1 soul, the skipper. A CPO oppo of mine was on there at the time part of the team tasked with putting the helos together on arrival, a Soton mush too boot.
The Cov' was lost simply because she turned the wrong way, crossing Brilliant's Sea Wolf lock. If she had turned to starboard the AA trap would have worked as planned. It was a fu.ck up.
