Obscure things I remember about that conflict ( I think) are that the - Exocet? - missiles the Argentines were using caused the lightweight alloys used in ship construction to burn wildly out of control, so that ships constructed later had to be redesigned with better materials.
I also remember the
ARA General Belgrano. They
were warned and I don't think they were 'returning to port' as claimed. This is one of those odd times when two different generations of technology meet, and like when two cultures meet it's usually the one less advanced that gets the short end of the stick. The nuclear powered
HMS Conqueror sank that light cruiser with relative ease from a distance.
ARA Belgrano
...was a WW2 US Pacific Fleet veteran of many engagements. It used to be the
USS Phoenix
It was a gunfighter caught up in a war that used missles.
