The British nuclear attack submarine nearly got whanged by the pursuing Argentinian destroyers after the G. Belgrano was sunk. From what I heard, it was lucky to escape.

Hadn't heard that story... Fascinating..

Btw, the Falklands war was also about oil... Which many british oil companies believe lie in the proximity of the Falklands.

However, that does not justify the forcible invasion of them by a politically desperate Argentine military junta.
