	The Falklands War (1982) / La Guerra de Las Malvinas (1982)
		The Falkland Islands are a group of islands in the south Atlantic.
		The government of the Falkland Islands administers the British dependent territories of South Georgia, the South Sandwich Islands, and the Shag and Clerke rocks, lying from 700 to 2,000 miles (1,100 to 3,200 km) to the east and southeast of the Falklands.
		From start to finish, this undeclared war lasted 72 days, claimed nearly 1000 casualties (236 British and 655 Argentine), many of them innocent conscripts that were drafted in a hurry by the Argentine junta.

	Argentine Airpower in the Falklands War: An Operational View (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The air force was outside the authority of the theater commander and reported directly to the junta, although it was supposed to coordinate its efforts with the other commands.
		Resupply and reinforcement of their forces on the islands were complicated by a British naval blockade of the Falklands—enforced by three Royal Navy nuclear attack submarines.
		The British task force, under the command of Adm John Woodward, was built around two light carriers (Her Majesty’s Ship [HMS] Hermes and HMS Invincible), over 20 destroyers and frigates, and a host of troopships and support vessels carrying a British brigade with full equipment.

		The prospect of a naval war pitting two of its allies against one another horrified the Reagan administration, then in the process of rejuvenating America's military and revitalizing U.S. alliances throughout the world to counter the rapidly growing Soviet threat.
		Alerted of the British naval activity, Argentina had the submarine Santa Fe (the former USS Catfish) discharge supplies and 20 marines at the island's port village of Grytviken on the 24th.
		With her torpedo attack, the British submarine achieved what the Japanese failed to do at Pearl Harbor, and the Brooklyn-class cruiser that first went to sea in 1938 passed into the depths of the South Atlantic, taking with her more than 300 of her crew.

		During the Falklands War, commercial ships such as the Canberra played a vital role in transporting the troops to the islands, but with many British-registered vessels now under foreign ownership, no guarantee could be made that they would be made available for such an operation.
