Summary The work of nine Naval anaesthetists deployed with the Task Force during the Falklands campaign is described. The anaesthetists worked in a field hospital (Ajax Bay), a hospital ship (SS Uganda), a troop ship (SS Canberra), aircraft carriers (HMS Hermes and HMS Invincible) and a Royal Fleet Auxiliary (Tidespring). The problems of staffing and providing the stores for various teams in different locations at short notice are discussed.
