What if Atlantic Conveyor had not been sunk during the Falklands War?
Short answerHer helicopters and ability to serve as a forward base could have accelerated logistics and shortened the ground campaign by several days.
NotesThe ship is imagined sheltering in San Carlos Water and serving as a ready-made forward operating base. Retaining more Chinook helicopters would have moved troops and supplies inland much faster than the historical overland effort. The resulting logistical tempo could have shortened the ground campaign by roughly five days to a week.
