	HMS Endurance
		Endurance was the three-masted barquentine in which Sir Ernest Shackleton sailed for the Antarctic on his Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition in 1914.
		HMS Endurance, ex-Anita Dan, was built in Denmark in 1956 by Grogerwerft for the Lauritzen Lines.
		In 1989 she struck an iceberg and although she was repaired, a survey in 1991 declared that the hull was not sound enough for a return to Antarctica and she was finally decommissioned.

		HMS Endurance carries a survey motor boat named James Caird, and other boats named Nimrod and Dudley Docker which were also boat names on Sir Ernest Shackleton's Endurance.
		In 2005, Endurance was chosen to carry HM The Queen and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh at the International Fleet Review as part of the Trafalgar 200 celebrations.

		Barker's account of the naval side of the Falkland's War is fascinating reading, but more so is the telling of the backstairs campaign to save HMS Endurance.
		Barker, captain of Endurance in the build-up to and during the Falklands War, tells how military cutbacks led to the proposal that the ship be withdrawn from the South Atlantic and how that decision contributed to the Argintine invasion.
		He pulls no puches in laying out the mistakes made during the war and in his criticism of the war that Endurance and her drew were treated during and after it.
