Falklands War

Egg Harbour was considered as one of the potential sites for a British amphibious landing during the Falklands War[1] but, in the event, the British landings took place on San Carlos Water in the west of East Falkland, on Falkland Sound. The main objections were to the bottle neck at the Darwin/Goose Green isthmus, which was heavily guarded by Argentine troops, and would have prevented an effective assault on Stanley.
