Any thoughts on this?
In the book “The secret waf for the Falklands” Nigel West wrote about this issue, a very true fact indeed. A SSN and a frigate were deployed, dont remenber the names but I will search.
“HMS Dreadnaught was told if it was attacked by Argentine anti-submarine weapons it must “surface or withdraw at high speed submerged, whichever will be of least risk to life”.”
Which made the whole exercise a pointless gamble with servicemens’ lives.
There is no point in waving weapons about unless you are prepared to use them.
Correct, the other HMS ship involved was the frigate HMS Phoebe.
The entire operation was called “Journeyman”
