    The Islas Malvinas was an Argentinian Z-28 Naval Patrol Craft used for inshore patrol and therefore painted in camouflage colours rather than naval grey. She was captured by HMS Cardiff on the 14th June 1982, and taken into service and re-named HMS Tiger Bay. After the Falklands Conflict she was stationed in Portsmouth Harbour until she was sold to a private owner in June 1986.
