2nd Armoured Division ( United Kingdom ) The 2nd Armoured Division was a British Army formation during the Second World War ; it was created on 15 December 1939 and disbanded on 10 May 1941 , after most of the division was captured at Mechili in Libya by German and Italian forces . History . This division had a short and unlucky history ; formed in December 1939 , it wasn ' t until the following month that it received any troops to command - when the 1st Light Armoured Brigade and the 22nd Heavy Armoured Brigade were assigned . Similarly , the 2nd Support Group was formed in February , but no troops were assigned until March . As the 1st Armoured Division had priority for equipment , the 2nd was forced to use whatever was available . The 1st Armoured Brigade , with its 150 - odd Mk VI light tanks , was the most combat - ready element of the division during most of 1940 . The 22nd Armoured Brigade was forced to make do with trucks and a few light tanks . As the threat of invasion receded after the Battle of Britain , the division was reorganized and reinforced for service in the Middle East . It exchanged the 22nd Armoured Brigade for the 1st Armoured Division ' s veteran 3rd Armoured Brigade and then the brigade ' s exchanged regiments to ensure that each had both cruisers and light tanks . The following table lists tank strengths before departure in October 1940 : In addition , both brigade headquarters ( as well as the division headquarters ) had three Mk VI light tanks and seven cruiser tanks ( mainly A 10s ) . In early 1941 , the division was sent to the Western Desert to reinforce troops under General Wavell , who , at the time , was on the verge of defeating the Italian forces . Unaware that Germany had sent reinforcements to support the Italians in Cyrenaica , Wavell ' s superiors ordered him to send half his troops to Greece , including the 1st Armoured Brigade and elements from the 2nd Support Group . Rommel ' s offensive forced Wavell ' s troops to retreat . Unfortunately , on 8 April 1941 , the understrength 2nd Armoured Division was caught in a pincer movement by the Italian 10th Bersaglieri Regiment , the 5th Light Division and the 15th Panzer Division - some elements escaped capture and were evacuated from Tobruk . On 10 May 1941 , the division was officially disbanded and not reformed . The 2nd Armoured Division also had an RAMC Brigade , but World War II records identifying the unit number are currently unavailable . Following re - organisation , 2nd Infantry Division was reformed as an armoured formation in I ( BR ) Corps in Germany from 1976 to 1983 . In this incarnation , it had two armoured regiments , each nominally with 74 tanks , and three mechanised infantry battalions , and probably incorporated Task Force Charlie and Task Force Delta . Following further reorganisation in 1983 , it was converted back into an infantry division . General Officers Commanding . The 2nd Armoured Division had five General Officers Commanding during its Second World War existence , with the final officer being taken prisoner . The Division had three General Officers Commanding during its existence in the late 1970s and early 1980s :
Drummond - class corvette The Drummond class are three corvette s designed and built in France based on the A69 D ' Estienne d ' Orves class . The ships were commissioned in the Argentine Navy between 1978 and 1982 . The ships currently serve in the " Atlantic Area of Operations " of the Argentine Navy , based on Mar del Plata Naval Base , province of Buenos Aires . Their mission is to patrol Argentina ' s EEZ and to enforce fishing regulations , but according to reports in November 2012 they “ hardly sail because of lack of resources for operational expenses ” . Design . Although its designers consider the A69 D ' Estienne d ' Orves class to be aviso s , Argentina classifies the ships as corvettes . They are equipped mostly with German and Dutch electronic systems ( instead of French ) for better compatibility with the two MEKO classes in Argentine service , integrated with the indigenous Miniaco combat system . History . The first two ships of the class were built in 1977 in France for the South African Navy . The sale was embargoed by United Nations Security Council Resolution 418 during sea trials and the ships bought by Argentina instead on 25 September 1978 . A third ship was ordered and entered service as ARA " Granville " on 22 June 1981 , in time for the Falklands War ( ) the following year . There are minor differences in equipment fit compared to her sisters , for instance the " Granville " has French Degaie decoys rather than the British Corvus chaff launchers . On 28 March 1982 the " Granville " and " Drummond " sailed from Argentina and took up station northeast of Port Stanley to cover the main amphibious landings on 2 April . Meanwhile the " Guerrico " covered the assault on South Georgia , sustaining significant damage from the Royal Marines in the process . After repairs she joined her sister ships north of the Falklands as Task Group 79 . 4 , hoping to catch ships detached from the British taskforce . On 29 April the corvettes were trailed by HMS " Splendid " whilst she was looking for the Argentine carrier ARA " 25 de Mayo " , but they managed to outrun the British submarine . The " Drummond " class carried pennant number s " P - 1 " to " P - 3 " until the introduction of the Espora class corvette s in 1985 when they became " P - 31 " to " P - 33 " . In 1994 , they participated in Operation Uphold Democracy , the United Nations blockade of Haiti . During this time , they were based at Roosevelt Roads Naval Station in Puerto Rico .
