Operation Canbelow

During the Falklands War, Operation Canbelow was a planned British anti-aircraft ambush conducted on the night of 5 June, 1982 off the western Falkland Islands.
After a number of night raids of high-flying Argentine Canberra bombers, the Royal Navy moved two ships (HMS Invincible and HMS Brilliant) to surprise the bombers on their next flight.
Bad weather prevented the aircraft from taking off, thus sparing them.Template:Mil-stub
