Falklands warship sinks in Argentina
The Holy Trinity, a warship used to land the first Argentine forces in the
Falklands War with Britain in 1982, has sunk, the navy said
The vessel is significant historically because it unloaded a team of divers at
Puerto Enriqueta on April 1, 1982, the day before Argentine troops invaded
the British-controlled Falklands Islands
The Ship which was retired from active service in 2004, took on water at
the Puerto Belgrano naval base after a six-inch pipe burst, the navy said.
The minister later said, however, that he was surprised that the ship sank
quickly while it was moored at the port
