Is it in a drydock?..for some reason, I thought it was permanently moored alongside, like The USS Constitution..

The British can do much regarding the Falklands.

There is a sizeable and heavily armed garrison on the island, which would cut any landing to ribbons (remember what just 50 Royal Marines nearly did to the landing force in 1982). There is a naval presence in the South Atlantic, and a nuclear sub in the UK on permanent standby.
