Today is Argentina's Navy Day and major offensive actions are expected. The CVBG moves south to a new patrol station 60nm south east of Stanley.
Two CAP Sea Harriers drop 1000lb bombs on Stanley.
A pair of Sea Harriers carry out a reconnaissance flight over Goose Green and Fox Bay.
HMS Invincible and escort HMS Brilliant leave the CVBG and head towards the Argentine mainland.
200nm from the mainland, a single Sea King HC.4 takes off from Invincible carrying SAS special forces bound for Rio Grande. Here, the men will hide up and report on Argentine aircraft as they take off to attack the Task Force. The SAS team will be picked up later by the small and manoeuvrable diesel-submarine HMS Onyx.
