it also brings to life the gruelling reality of fighting aboard tin cans floating on 100' s of metres of water in the face of missiles and torpedo' s that require only a single hit
suddenly the rn was fighting a war it had never expected and they found they had some serious capability issues, with air defence being a big one. As what they had avaliable was good if there is someone else nearby with better kit and you expected to be part of a wider network. Not so good if it is the only thing avaliable.
and of course, the argentine pilots had the skills to find and exploit those short comings
i' ve just been reading about the japanese naval air experience - and what is most impressive is the huge number of weapons that are needed to sink a warship - armoured during wwii. One or two hits shouldn' t affect a big ship like a carrier with good damage control. But british ships of falklands vintage were designed to stand up to 1 500kg bomb, but not 2. So, coventry, capsized after two bombs, but ardent survived for a day after 3 bombs (with many more unexploded) antelope was hit by 2 bombs, but only one exploded near the magazines which also detonated, sinking the ship.
in conclusion, considering the argies had only 5 missiles, they squandered them on unimportant targets, a rookie error, and failed to follow up their hit with anything else. Poor strategy, poor planning, poor tactics, generally poor business, and hitting the sheffield, a ship that wasn' t going to make any major contribution to the war, was poetic justice
i dare say bz!
thats about halfway as far back in time from now as ww2!
good god time flies! 15
one thing to remember is

he was also telling that heads were sometimes after this event, he mentally suffered a lot and he completely changed its job
his take was way too much aluminium in rn vessels which transferred the intence heat very quickly once a fire started it was almost impossible to put it out with the kit they had on-board as it spread
very interesting that 1 of these ships was testing new weapons. Was called into battle with the reps from missile maker then half the weapons froze up.
this war was a big learning curve
