Keith a nuclear attack submarine DID make a difference when doctor David Owen sent one and parked it outside Port Stanley harbour. Making it's presence in the area well known. They can move faster underwater than any Argie ship, one could have devastated any invasion fleet. I did not mention a nuclear strike. There is a slight difference between a nuclear powered attack submarine like the one that did the Belgrano and a bloody trident sub. One could have gotten there within a few days, she knew for months it was about to kick off. No excuses are possible. Other than the fact that she WANTED them to invade so she could be the bloody hero freeing the islands from oppression. Get real, she was a tyrannical cow, the nearest thing we have had to a dictator since Cromwell. Yes unions were a problem but her slap handed methods of dealing with them destroyed British industry for ever. She wanted to rely on tourism and banking not industry to make Britain money. Look where that got us.
Really? that's why Nissan and Honda set up then. The banks went wild on the dynamic duo of Bliar and OESI's watch.
There are none as blind as them that do not want to see.
A nuclear sub is no defence against an airborn invasion.
