Navy is now down to five ships.

Yes Cappy, completely agree opinions vary but there is never a need to make it personal.

Post 46# Got red tinted glasses on again Lewis. "Blair could be accused of doing the same thing" in taking us to war .
Big difference, British people were threatened and the government of the day responded.
Blair promised in writing six months before the Iraq invasion that he would (UK) standby George Bush. There was no justification for going to war in Iraq, even the cobbled together WMD report by Campbell was a load of crap.
You cannot compete Thatcher and Blair did.

###whats personal the french split the country...ie vichy ......one of the options for those suggesting we shouldnt have gone to the falklands ...was as ie the french one ........dont dig a bigger hole ...you are determined to make it personal ...ok you can have that .....make of it what you want ......what gets me is french personel making sure the exocets worked correctly to target british forces now if that is personal as well then eat it up ......but never the less even with that skullduggery ..we kicked there asses good and proper .......suppose your views on the belgrano are different to most brits as well ......but there you are we have free speech on here.... so feel free

i Echo your sentiments Lew, They will get over themselves. In fact Cappy posted that whatever the decision of Administration was we all must accept it. I can never remember handing in a petition to any ships Skipper after a vote amongst the crew to bring back a seaman that had been sacked by the Skipper or shipping company {Administration } I am off out its a beautiful day and nothing and know one is going to spoil it. Have a good one lads Terry.

If I accept all written and re-posted here then there were only 5 Exocet in Argentinian hands
3 were jammed on launchers , Aerospatial engineers after the declaration from France repaired those , French technicians under Aerospatial control

1 AM39 destroyed HMS Sheffield
2 AM39 Destroyed Atlantic Conveyor
1 Damaged HMS Glamorgan

that is a pretty good record for a country that had only two fire-able missiles at the start , maybe with a single hit the Atlantic Conveyor could have survived , Without help from Aerospatiale , not Dassult as I said earlier, technicians , after the French embargo , lives were put at risk ,Aerospatiale was at that time French government owned , the technicians worked for the French State ,

So were they under orders or traitors
