…. Phoenix, renamed as ARA General Belgrano was torpedoed and sunk by the Royal Navy submarine HMS Conqueror during the Falklands War.
Indeed and nicely done. Additional info… sunk this date (2-May-1982 15:57 local time.) Only the second ship since WWII sunk by a sub and the only ship (to date) torpedoed by a nuclear sub. Previously, had been named the ARA Diecisiete de Octubre after a Peronist inspired national holiday… People's Loyalty Day. Was renamed after Peron's overthrow for the founder of their naval school.
