HMS Endurance (1967)
HMS ''Endurance'' was a Royal Navy ice patrol vessel that served from 1967 to 1991. She came to public notice when she was involved in the Falklands War of 1982.
==Service history==
Grogerwerft of Denmark built her in 1956 as ''Anita Dan'' for Lauritzen Lines. The UK government bought her in 1967 and had Harland & Wolff convert her. She was commissioned into the Royal Navy as HMS ''Endurance'', named after the sailing ship ''Endurance'' that took the explorer Ernest Shackleton's expedition to the Antarctic in 1914.
The new ''Endurance'' maintained a UK presence in Antarctica and the Falkland Islands during the southern summer. She also supported the British Antarctic Survey. She had a bright red hull, as is common for polar vessels to aid visibility but otherwise uncommon for the Royal Navy, so her crew nicknamed her ''The Red Plum''. In February 1972 when the cruise ship ''Lindblad Explorer'' ran aground, ''Endurance'' was in the vicinity under Captain Rodney Bowden and took part in the rescue.
The Ministry of Defence's 1981 Defence White Paper proposed naval cuts including decommissioning ''Endurance'', which was scheduled for 15 April 1982.
