An interview with

Andy Tuft

Possibly the youngest British seaman to take part in the Falklands War

Andy Tuft was born into a military family but stumbled into the merchant navy by accident. He expected luxury cruises but joined the Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) instead.
Signing on April 1st, he was en route to the Falklands by April 5th onboard RFA Resource where he was a Junior Communications Rating (JCR).  He quickly adapted to his first deployment, detailing his work and life aboard the Resource. Although inexperienced, he served on the fire attack team and quickly matured.
He fondly recalls his skipper, "Sally Seymour," and memories of San Carlos and South Georgia, where icebergs, more than bombs, unsettled him. Andy also recounts sharing a cabin with a Special Boat Service [SBS] member, an eye-opening experience. Mixed emotions coloured his Falklands experience; while proud to have served, he felt conflicted about the service and its long-term affects.
He retired from the Merchant Navy in 1989, and sadly passed away on May 12, 2023, following a short illness.
