Operation Corporate HMS Antelope was a Type 21 frigate of the Royal Navy that participated in the Falklands War and was sunk by Argentine aircraft.

During this attack, one of the Argentine jets, piloted by First Lieutenant Luciano Guadagnini, was hit by the ship's Oerlikon 20 mm cannon before colliding with Antelope's main mast and disintegrating.

Antelope fired a Sea Cat at what she believed to be a fifth attacker, but this was Captain Carballo, trying to establish if his aircraft was fit to fly.

[3] The ship was torn open from waterline to funnel, with the blast starting major fires in both engine rooms, which spread very quickly.

TV and still pictures of Antelope's demise became some of the iconic images of the Falklands War and appear repeatedly in histories of the event.

[4] Corporal Alan White received a commendation from the Task Force Commander, Admiral Sir John Fieldhouse, for his part in rescuing 41 crew from Antelope using a Mark 2 LCVP, one of four carried by the assault ship Fearless.
