This month at HMS Collingwood, a quiet but poignant ceremony took place—a tree planting that not only marks environmental renewal but also stands as a living tribute to three young Electronic Warfare sailors who trained there before deploying to war and making the ultimate sacrifice, in particular AB(EW) Stephen Heyes on HMS Ardent.

On June 14th 2024, a ceremonial raising of the Falklands Flag in Milford Haven was held to honour the legacy of HMS Ardent and its veterans, further cementing the profound bond between the ship's survivors and the town of Milford Haven. The 14th is also celebrated in the Falklands as Liberation Day. It commemorates the liberation of the Falkland Islanders from Argentine military occupation and the end of the Falklands War in 1982.
