Royal Navy signed HMS Intrepid Welcome to Rosyth Navy Days 1990 Naval FDC. Not sure of autograph. Intrepid's most prominent role came during the 1982 Falklands War, where she was reactivated from near-decommissioning to join Operation Corporate as part of the British task force recapturing the islands from Argentine forces. Arriving at San Carlos Water on 21 May 1982, she disgorged landing craft to ferry Royal Marine commandos and Army paratroopers ashore, establishing beachheads despite heavy Argentine air attacks that caused casualties among her embarked troops.[4] Later, she transported elements of 5 Infantry Brigade along East Falkland's south coast and participated in landings at Bluff Cove on 6 June, while also serving as a holding facility for Argentine prisoners of war; following the Argentine surrender on 14 June 1982, she assisted with prisoner handling and logistics.[3] These actions underscored her critical contribution to the amphibious phase of the campaign, earning commendations from British leadership including Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
