British - Third Cod War (1975–1976) Five original pictures of the Collision between an UK Naval Vessel HMS Naiad and the Icelandic Gunboat Tyr taken by one of the sailors on Naiad showing the damage to the Icelandic ship. Naiad undertook a Fishery Protection Patrol during the Third Cod War, and on 24 April 1976 she was rammed by the Icelandic gunboat Tyr causing hull and bow damage. The frigate began to take tons of water, which prompted damage control teams to build a concrete enclosure around the gash. Naiad required dry docking at Devonport on her return home.
