British fleet loses
two more ships
FALKLANDS ISLANDS (AP) -
Britain declared Wednesday
that despite the loss of two more
ships and 24 men — its heaviest
toll in a single day — ground
forces were poised to break out
of the beachhead on the Falk
lands and attack the capital of
Stanley.
Argentina said it pounded the
beachhead near San Carlos and
downed a British iet that rock
eted an Argentine ship It also
said an undetermined number
of Harrier jets sank on one of the
British ships Tuesday, a claim
denied by Britain.
British commandos and para
troops landed Friday 50 miles
from Stanley to establish the
beachhead in the first major
assault to recapture the Falk
lands
Meanwhile, Pope John Paul II
scheduled a visit to Argentina
June 11-12 as a followup to his
tour of Britain beginning Friday,
and the U N Security Council
passed a resolution giving
Secretary General Javier Perez
de Cuellar seven days to work
out a truce Perez de Cuellar
said it was a ' very difficult mis
sion."
Argentine Foreign Minister
Nicanor Costa Mendez said in
New York before the vote that
although his government did
not endorse the resolution ou
tright "the war is beginning to
be so cruel and the numbers of
lives lost so high that I think
public opinion will push
governments and will push the
United Nations to peace."
The Argentine Joint Chiefs of
Staff said army units and the
JEFF RYDER
Trained in Rolfing and
Aston bodywork and
movement education
344-6488
army air corps were attacking
British forces near San Carlos in
an effort to "control the enemy
and limit his deployment." In
termittent rain was reported in
the area, where winter has al
ready set in.
Defense Secretary John Nott
told Parliament that the British
destroyer Coventry was sunk
with 20 men dead and the
requisitioned container ship At
lantic Conveyor was abandoned
with four dead after a mass Ar
gentine air attack off the Falk
lands Tuesday
Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher said "despite these
grievous losses, neither our re
solve nor our confidence is
weakened," and Nott declared
that British forces who landed
Friday in San Carlos "are poised
to begin their thrust" on Stan
ley, 50 miles to the east
He told the House of Com
mons 20 sailors were killed and
about 20 wounded when the
Coventry was hit by several
bombs as the warship stood off
the northern tip of the Falklands
on radar picket duty. The
remaining 240 officers and crew
were rescued, he said
He said four seamen were
killed and a small number
wounded when two Exocet
missiles from two French-built
Super Etendard fighter
bombers hit the Atlantic Con
veyor. steaming toward Falk
land Sound to unload equip
ment and supplies at San Car
los The remainder of the ves
sel's 170 crew was rescued
when the vessel was aban
doned, Nott said
A high Defense Ministry
source said the missiles that hit
the Atlantic Conveyor were
believed intended for the carrier
Hermes, flagship of the British
task force, which was close e
nough to the merchant ship to
see the weapons strike.
Nott called the losses — which
pushed the official British death
toll in the conflict to 98 —
"tragic." But he said 10 more
destroyers and frigates have
joined the armada "in the last
two days ”
The Argentine government
has admitted to losing 394 men
in the conflict
Argentine Defense Minister
Amadeo Frugoli claimed that
Argentine forces had put out of
action 18 to 20 British ships and
16 to 20 Sea Harriers
