Philip was a First Officer on the QE2 and acted as liaison between the Royal Navy captain and Cunard when she was commandeered for service in the Falklands war. He describes how the QE2 was adapted for war, and precautions taken on the journey to South Georgia, as she was considered to be a prize target. He talks about the return journey, with survivors on board, and the emotional homecoming on return to Southampton.
