Leander-class frigates in the Falklands War

Did Leander-class frigates serve in the Falklands War?

Yes; several deployed, including differently modernized Sea Wolf, Exocet, and Ikara variants.

Several Leander-class frigates deployed in the Falklands campaign, although their names and equipment fits are reconstructed cautiously from memory. Successive conversions had produced Sea Wolf, Exocet, and Ikara variants, sometimes at the cost of the bow 4.5-inch gun. Andromeda is identified as the Sea Wolf-equipped guard ship for Invincible and distinguished from differently modernised sisters. A common frigate design could therefore reach the same war with materially different offensive, defensive, and anti-submarine capabilities.
