The Atlantic Conveyor was initially taken up from trade for adaptation into an aircraft ferry on 14th April 1982 but ended up resembling a WWII merchant aircraft carrier equipped with Harrier jets and helicopters. After her newfound capabilities were shown off to the press on 25th April, little more was heard of her until the 25th May when she was destroyed by Exocets most probably aimed at the nearby British flagship, HMS Hermes.
