Falklands War Stricken HMS Antelope Ship Frigate San Carlos Military Postcard

NP128 This is a superb opportunity to secure this limited edition collectors postcard of the Falklands War published shortly after the conclusion of the conflict to commemorate the events. This postcard depicts the heart-wrenching sight of the Type 21 frigate HMS Antelope heavily damaged and compromised in the cold waters of San Carlos Water. The view captures the vulnerable, listing warship in the immediate aftermath of a catastrophic explosion that occurred while bomb disposal experts were courageously trying to defuse unexploded enemy ordnance. With thick smoke still drifting across the bay and the crew forced to evacuate the vessel, the haunting scene illustrates the immense architectural destruction and the ultimate sacrifice paid by British service personnel during the intense air-sea battles of the campaign. It is unused and in absolute mint condition.
