Warships of the Falklands War (1982)
HMS Argonaut F56
A poignant set of images as HMS Argonaut F56, a 'Leander' class frigate, is seen on the River Tamar entering Devonport on 7th April 1982. With the invasion of the Falkland Islands, less than two weeks later, on 19th April she would be heading south from Devonport to the Falklands via the Ascension Islands to form part of the Task Force. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DopvqL-8koU
