Endurance made a triumphal return to Chatham Dockyard from the Falklands on 20th August 1982. It is estimated that 20,000 people lined the River Medway to welcome her home. She had been at sea for 11 months and was the first and last Royal Navy ship present in the conflict.
The short memorial held in the Steam, Steel and Submarines gallery at Chatham Historic Dockyard, celebrates her home coming to Medway along with her ships company and the twenty-two Royal Marines on board.
