ship HMAS Shropshire.)
Although the General Belgrano was actually outside the TEZ, it was considered that she posed a threat to the British Carrier group, and orders were given to sink the Argentina Cruiser, two conventional torpedoes soon sunk her with a loss of life of 300 enemy sailors.
By Mid June the war was all over.
By the middle of June it was all over, the British forces absolutely overwhelming those of Argentina, and on the 15th. of June the enemy surrendered.
Losses.
In addition to the two British ships already mentioned, two frigates, Antelope and Ardent, were sunk by bombs, and the destroyer Coventry suffered the same fate. Another 5 British warships were also severely damaged. About 28 British aircraft were lost including Wessex and Sea King helicopters, and Harrier jump jets. The losses of personnel on the British side ran to about 1,000. One needs to ask, Were such losses justified to regain some remote South Atlantic Islands, or was it all about PRIDE?
Argentina.
They sustained aircraft losses of about 100, and left behind a mass of war material, including artillery, armoured cars, missile and radar systems, aircraft and helicopters. The Fleet transport Isla De Los Estados was lost and the submarine Santa Fe disabled. Their invasion of the Falklands had proved to be a disaster.
British Task Force comes home.
The British Task Force sailed home to a heroes welcome, greeted by a triumphant Government led by the Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, absolutely delighted with the success of her Armed Forces. The Carrier HMS Invincible after a claimed record of 166 days at sea, steamed into Portsmouth Harbour, to be greeted by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second. The troops were home again, except for the many who had died, most of whom lie buried in those distant islands thousands of miles from home, and their relatives.
Fortress Falklands.
The British Government committed their Defence Policy to what they named Fortress Falklands. The airfield was extended to be able to take Hercules Transport aircraft, whilst the airfield at Stanley could now handle Phantom Fighters. By 1985, Mount Pleasant air field was completed to handle wide bodied long range jet transports capable of reinforcing the Falklands at very short notice.
Back to normal.
For the residents of these remote islands the excitement was over, their days in the spotlight of the world media at an end, it was back to the mundane routine of trying to carve out a living here, still under the guardianship of Great Britain
