This print captures the grandeur and power of this iconic vessel as it embarks on its maiden voyage. Little did anyone know that this mighty ship would later play a crucial role during the Falklands War.

Built by Swan Hunter Shipyard, located in Tyne and Wear, this photograph showcases not only British industry but also highlights the rich heritage of shipbuilding in this region.
