The UK now has a serious combat airfield [0] on the Falklands with Typhoons [1] permanently based there, and a much larger garrison. If this doesn't deter aggression against the islands, a remote carrier wouldn't.
Personally, I doubt that Falklands II will ever happen because the Argentinians never substantially rebuilt their airforce.
