ENDURANCE

HMS Endurance (formerly the Anita Dan) is a British ice patrol ship of 3600 tons displacement. She was withdrawn from the South Atlantic in the 1980s, and this gave Argentina the impression that Britain was no longer prepared to protect her interests there, and thus led to the Falkland's War. HMS Endurance was launched in May 1956, and was armed with two 20 mm guns and has a top speed of 14.5 knots and range of 12000 miles. She carries a crew of 142 including a detachment of Royal Marines.
