FALKLANDS: THATCHER’S WAR



















































































         HMS INVINCIBLE RETURNS HOME

         One of two aircraft carriers deployed to the Falklands, HMS Invincible
         carried Sea King helicopters and BAE Sea Harriers (here pictured) that
         were crucial in the battle for aerial dominance. Though Argentine forces
         claimed to have hit Invincible with an exocet missile attack during the
         confl ict, British authorities denied this and no such damage was apparent
         on the ship’s exterior on its return to Portsmouth on 17 September 1982.
