Hermes was the flagship of the British Royal Navy forces during the 1982 Falklands War and was in service from 1959 until 1984.
She started a new life in India as a maritime museum, south of Mumbai after serving in the Indian Navy and was decommissioned in 2017.
We have had a look back through the archives to find some old photos of HMS Hermes.
What are your memories of when it was based in Portsmouth?
