"HMS Glamorgan" was a destroyer of the Royal Navy launched in 1964. On 12 June 1982 an MM38 Exocet missile was fired from an improvised shore-based launcher as she was steaming at about offshore. The first attempt to fire a missile did not result in a launch; on the second attempt, a missile was launched but did not acquire the target. The third attempt resulted in a missile tracking "Glamorgan". The incoming Exocet missile was also spotted on "Glamorgan" and a turn was ordered to present the stern to the missile.
