Carrington, and two junior ministers had
resigned by the end of the week
[following the Argentinian invasion]
They took the blame for Britain’s poor
preparations and plans to decommission
HMS Endurance, the navy’s only Antarctic
patrol vessel. It was a move which may
have lead the Junta to believe the UK
had little interest in keeping the
Falklands.”

Falklands invasion warning",

Franks Report into the eventual war
noted that as tension mounted during
1977, the government covertly sent a
small naval force to the islands - but
did not repeat the move when relations
worsened again in 1981-2. This has led
some critics to blame prime minister
Margaret Thatcher for the war, saying
the decision to plan the withdrawal of
the only naval vessel in the area sent
the wrong signal to the military junta
in Buenos Aires.”
