A frigate or destroyer is only in Falklands waters for a few weeks of each South Atlantic deployment, and that has been the situation for many years now. So the suggestion that there is no frigate or destroyer there "for the first time" is complete bolleaux. As has been noted, HMS Clyde is the only permanent warship presence and that too has been the situation for many years.
