		The antelope are a group of African animals of the family Bovidae, distinguished by a pair of hollow horns on their heads.
		Antelope have powerful hindquarters and when startled they run with a peculiar bounding stride that makes them look as though they are bouncing over the terrain like a giant rabbit.
		Christian iconography sometimes uses the antelope's two horns as a symbol of the two spiritual weapons that Christians possess: the [[Old Testament Old]] and New Testaments.

	sci.military.naval FAQ, Part F - Surface Combatants
		One common story is that HMS Sheffield, a destroyer sunk during the 1982 Falkland War, was lost because her alleged aluminum superstructure made her more vulnerable to damage.
		Any warship of her size, regardless of aluminum or steel construction, would likely be sunk by this many bombs, so aluminum cannot be blamed here.
		Antelope, another aluminum-superstructure ship, was struck by two bombs, which lodged in the ship but failed to explode.
