HMS Active and Arrow harassed positions on Sapper Hill and Moody Brook and returned to the Battle Group after sunrise.

The Stena Seaspread finished repairs to the Plymouth, who then rejoined the Battle Group. She was replaced by the Glamorgan.

Mid-morning, an 801 Squadron CAP sighted an Argentine patrol craft. It was thought to be the Rio Iguazu, driven aground on May 22nd, the Harriers received permission to strafe the vessel.

Seven A-4Bs made for the 3 Cdo Brigade Tactical HQ. Brigadier Thompson had gathered his unit commanders for on 'Operations Group' briefing. Few of the bombs exploded but some landed too close for the commanders' comfort.

HMS Cardiff's Lynx was carrying out the routine forenoon clearance search to the south of the Falkland Sound, when it was attacked by three Daggers, the helicopter crews evasive action prevented the aircraft being damaged.

A pair of GR3s flew from Hermes to deliver a laser-guided bomb attack on the Argentine artillery in the Moody Brook area.

The hospital ship Almirante Irizar, arrived with a team from the ICRC. A 'Red Cross Zone' was established around the Cathedral.

The Rio Iguaz was strafed once again by an 801 Sqn CAP and HMS Penelope's Lynx hit it with a Sea Skua before dusk.

In the late evening, HMS Cardiff detected the first of a number of aircraft coming in from the west, toward HMS Intrepid. It was joined by another two aircraft which proceeded to fly on towards Fitzroy and Port Stanley. When the lead contact was in Sea Dart range, the destroyer fired a single missile. The missile hit the lead Canberra and although the pilot ejected, the navigator failed to escape.

Two further aircraft kept coming. HMS Penelope saw a bright glow and a trail heading toward her and her charge the Nordic Ferry. Penelope took evasive action, firing chaff to screen herself and the Nordic Ferry and opened fire with both Seacat and Bofors as the missile closed. It ditched about 1,000 yards between the two ships.

The British launched the next infantry attacks.
