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
