Rumours British firm Desire Petroleum may have struck oil near the Falklands arise as the Royal Navy announces the arrival of nuclear attack submarine HMS Sceptre to patrol the islands.
Experts claim there could be as much as 60 billion barrels of crude oil under Falkland's waters.
There are already two Navy vessels in the area. HMS York, a Type 42 destroyer, is partolling off the island's capital of Port Stanley. HMS Scott, a survey vessel, is also nearby and the fleet has air support from a squadron of RAF Typhoon fighter jets based on the islands.
