Notes: The Norland was a P&O 27,000 tonne roll-on/roll-off ferry built in 1974 operating between Hull and Rotterdam Europoort, Netherlands, and then Zeebrugge, Belgium. During the Falklands War, the Ministry of Defence requisitioned the Norland to be used as a troopship in the Task Force sent to retake the Falkland Islands. The Norland was among the ships to enter San Carlos Water during the amphibious landings of Commandos and Paratroopers, Captained by Donald Ellerby CBE. The ship survived attack from the Argentine Air Force, and at the end of the war repatriated the defeated Argentine troops back home, alongside the Canberra.
