HMSSheffield(D80) (1971) - a Type 42destroyer badly damaged by the Argentinian air forces on 4 May 1982 during the Falklands War. While being towed towards South Georgia Island, she sank in heavy seas.
All three of these warships have carried many fixtures and fittings manufactured in Sheffield itself, including a great deal of stainless steel items, leading to the nickname that has been applied to all of them: the "Shiny Sheff".
HMS Sheffield was one of the Southampton sub class of the Town-classcruisers of the Royal Navy during the Second World War. She took part in actions against several major German warships. Unlike most Royal Navy ships of her time, her fittings were constructed from stainless steel instead of the more traditional brass. This was an attempt to reduce the amount of cleaning required on the part of the crew. Her nickname, the "Shiny Sheff", stemmed from this. A prototype radar system was placed into service in August 1938 on the Sheffield. It was the first vessel in the Royal Navy to be so equipped.
HMS Sheffield was a Type 22frigate of the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom. She was originally intended to be named Bruiser but was named Sheffield in honour of the previous Sheffield, a Type 42destroyer sunk in the Falklands War. Entering service in 1988, Sheffield served with the Royal Navy until 2002. In 2003, she was sold to the Armada de Chile and renamed Almirante Williams.
History
Sheffield was launched on 26 March 1986, by Swan Hunter, Tyne and Wear, United Kingdom, and named by Mrs Susan Stanley, wife of the then Armed Forces Minister. The ship was commissioned at Hull on 26 July 1988. Several crewmen of the previous Sheffield were at the launch. A specially minted Sheffield coin was placed in the keel at the keel-laying ceremony on 29 March 1984.
In late 1998, Sheffield provided assistance after Hurricane Georges, visiting the island of St Kitts and also saved a Honduran woman who had been swept out to sea from her home by the force of Hurricane Mitch.
Sheffield (i/ˈʃɛfiːld/) is a city and metropolitan borough in South Yorkshire, England. Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, its name derives from the River Sheaf, which runs through the city. With some of its southern suburbs annexed from Derbyshire, the city has grown from its largely industrial roots to encompass a wider economic base. The population of the City of Sheffield is 563,749 (mid-2014est.) and it is one of the eight largest regional English cities that make up the Core Cities Group. Sheffield is the third largest English district by population. The metropolitan population of Sheffield is 1,569,000
During the 19th century, Sheffield gained an international reputation for steel production. Many innovations were developed locally, including crucible and stainless steel, fuelling an almost tenfold increase in the population in the Industrial Revolution. Sheffield received its municipal charter in 1843, becoming the City of Sheffield in 1893. International competition in iron and steel caused a decline in traditional local industries in the 1970s and 1980s, coinciding with the collapse of coal mining in the area.

1982: HMS Sheffield Hit by Exocet Missile
'On This Day 1982: Falklands War - HMS Sheffield Sinks'
Here, the Sheffield’s Captain, James Salt, talks about the Argentine attack – the very short warning his crew received, the missile’s impact and aftermath.
The Exocet blew a huge hole in the ship’s side and led to an inferno on board - with some of the metal glowing red with the heat.
Twenty of Sheffield’s crew died in the attack and the ship later sank, on May 10, 1982.

'On This Day 1982: Falklands War - HMS Sheffield Sinks'
Here, the Sheffield’s Captain, James Salt, talks about the Argentine attack – the very short warning his crew received, the missile’s impact and aftermath.
The Exocet blew a huge hole in the ship’s side and led to an inferno on board - with some of the metal glowing red with the heat.
Twenty of Sheffield’s crew died in the attack and the ship later sank, on May 10, 1982.

*VERY IMPORTANT NOTE* The SEA DART missile system was initially semi-active homing. An upgrade made it a 'more autonomous' active homing. Thus SEA DART was both Semi-active homing and Active homing in it's life time.
The HMS Sheffield (D80) was a Type 42 (Sheffield class) destroyer in the Royal Navy, commissioned in 1975. This warship was among the first of its class, designed primarily for area air-defense to protect carrier battle groups from aerial threats, including low-flying aircraft and anti-ship missiles.
Technical Specifications:
HMS Sheffield
Propulsion: It was powered by COGOG (Combined Gas or Gas) propulsion systems, consisting of two Rolls-Royce Olympus TM3B high-speed gas turbines for high-speed operations and two Rolls-Royce Tyne RM1A cruising gas turbines, generating a combined output of about 36,000 horsepower. This setup allowed the ship to operate more efficiently at different speed ranges, with a top speed of over 30 knots.
Armament: The primary armament of the HMS Sheffield included a twin Sea Dart missile launcher, capable of engaging aerial targets at long ranges. It also featured one 4.5-inch Mark 8 naval gun for surface targets, two 20 mm Oerlikon cannons, and two Phalanx CIWS (Close-In Weapon Systems) for last-minute defense against incoming missiles.
Electronics: The ship was equipped with a sophisticated suite of sensors and radars, including the Type 1022 long-range air search radar, Type 996 3D surveillance radar, and Type 909 fire control radar for the Sea Dart missiles. It also had sonar equipment for anti-submarine operations.
Aircraft: The destroyer had facilities to operate one Lynx helicopter, enhancing its capability in anti-submarine warfare and surface warfare operations.
Operational History:
The HMS Sheffield gained historical significance during the Falklands War in 1982. It was tragically hit by an Exocet missile fired by Argentine forces, leading to severe damage and the loss of 20 crew members. This incident underscored the vulnerability of modern warships to missile attacks and led to significant changes in naval tactics and defense systems.
The Sea Dart missile
Key Components and Functionality:
Missile Design: The Sea Dart missile was typically about 4.4 meters in length, with a wingspan of around 1 meter. It was equipped with a solid rocket booster for initial launch and a ramjet sustainer motor for flight. This design allowed the missile to accelerate to speeds over Mach 2.
Guidance System: Initially, Sea Dart missiles used semi-active radar homing for guidance. This required the ship's radar to illuminate the target until the missile impacted. The system was later updated to include a more autonomous active radar homing capability, allowing greater flexibility and the ability to engage multiple targets simultaneously.
Warhead: The missile was armed with a high-explosive blast fragmentation warhead, triggered by a proximity fuse. This was designed to detonate near the target, maximizing the likelihood of destroying or disabling it through shrapnel.
The missile system operated by first detecting and tracking targets using the ship's radar systems. Once a target was identified and within range, the Sea Dart could be launched. After launch, the missile's booster would activate, propelling it away from the ship and towards the target. Upon booster burnout, the ramjet would take over, maintaining high speed as the missile approached the target area.
During its terminal phase, the guidance system would home in on the radar reflections from the target, guided by the ship's radar or its own onboard radar in later versions. The proximity fuse would detect the optimal moment to detonate the warhead, intending to destroy or incapacitate the target with a blast and shrapnel.
Historical Context and Legacy:
The Sea Dart proved its effectiveness during the Falklands War, where it was credited with several Argentine aircraft kills. However, its performance also highlighted some limitations in cluttered environments or against low-flying targets. These operational experiences helped inform subsequent developments in naval air defense systems, aiming to address these shortcomings.

*VERY IMPORTANT NOTE* The SEA DART missile system was initially semi-active homing. An upgrade made it a 'more autonomous' active homing. Thus SEA DART was both Semi-active homing and Active homing in it's life time.
The HMS Sheffield (D80) was a Type 42 (Sheffield class) destroyer in the Royal Navy, commissioned in 1975. This warship was among the first of its class, designed primarily for area air-defense to protect carrier battle groups from aerial threats, including low-flying aircraft and anti-ship missiles.
Technical Specifications:
HMS Sheffield
Propulsion: It was powered by COGOG (Combined Gas or Gas) propulsion systems, consisting of two Rolls-Royce Olympus TM3B high-speed gas turbines for high-speed operations and two Rolls-Royce Tyne RM1A cruising gas turbines, generating a combined output of about 36,000 horsepower. This setup allowed the ship to operate more efficiently at different speed ranges, with a top speed of over 30 knots.
Armament: The primary armament of the HMS Sheffield included a twin Sea Dart missile launcher, capable of engaging aerial targets at long ranges. It also featured one 4.5-inch Mark 8 naval gun for surface targets, two 20 mm Oerlikon cannons, and two Phalanx CIWS (Close-In Weapon Systems) for last-minute defense against incoming missiles.

'On This Day 1982: Falklands War - HMS Sheffield Sinks'
Here, the Sheffield’s Captain, James Salt, talks about the Argentine attack – the very short warning his crew received, the missile’s impact and aftermath.
The Exocet blew a huge hole in the ship’s side and led to an inferno on board - with some of the metal glowing red with the heat.
Twenty of Sheffield’s crew died in the attack and the ship later sank, on May 10, 1982.
