The Amphibious Phase was now complete, with the Brigade ashore and virtually self-sufficient.

Sir Geraint and Europic Ferry left San Carlos during the night.

B Company, 41 Cdo, found the first Argentine presence finding a Captain de Corbeta of the Argentine Marine Corps.

45 Cdo and 3 Para set out for Teal Inlet.

2 Para had nearly reached Camilla Creek House before dawn.

The Argentinians remained unaware of the presence of any troops, until the impending attack was announced on the BBC World Service that evening.

Two GR3s dropped cluster bombs on the Argentine garrison, however, when Squadron Leader G. R. Iveson RAF returned for a fourth strafing pass, he was hit by 20mm AA fire and abandoned his burning Harrier. The other Harrier was hit but made it back the HMS Hermes undamaged.

A second attack dropped more bombs in the afternoon.

The air raids began in the late afternoon. Shore facilities in San Carlos bridgehead attacked for the first time, leaving 2 unexploded bombs in the Field Hospital: 2 Argentine aircraft destroyed. The bombs remained in the Field Hospital until daylight when a RAF bomb disposal team could examine them. All patients who were fit to be moved were evacuated to HMS Intrepid. Flight Lieutenant A. Swan RAF, slept beside one of the bombs, to reassure the patients and staff who had to remain.

These were the only low-level raids to concentrate on the British land forces in San Carlos Water.
The Battle Group was affected by fog, low cloud and rain. This left the carriers unable to operate fighters and only 35 CAP sorties were flown off the carriers during the day.

Two GR3s attacked Port Stanley airfield at noon, using delayed action 1,000 lb bombs with the intention of disrupting supply flights during the night.

HMS Penelope and Avenger were detached to form an anti-surface screen.

The Irishman had the Atlantic Conveyor in tow by mid-evening. Atlantic Conveyor's ordnance had exploded, blowing her bows off, permitting flooding and giving her a 15 degree list to starboard. The tow parted after half an hour, Able Seamen D. P. Betts and G. Bales went across to reconnect a line (as a consequence, the two men were awarded the British Empire Medal). However, as the fog descended, the Irishman lost sight of the Atlantic Conveyor and had no warning when the ship suddenly plunged late that night. The Irishman made a sweep of the area but found only three large containers floating on the surface. The Captain reported the loss of the ship and its position.

Elk, laden with stores made a replenishment run into San Carlos. She was escorted by HMS Ambuscade and RFA Tidepool with HMS Plymouth joining them for the last stage.

HMS Glamorgan, Avenger, Alacrity, Arrow and Yarmouth detached from the Battle Group as darkness fell to bombard inland targets.

263 survivors from HMS Sheffield arrived home in UK.

Large patrol flew to Mount Kent
