as posted by the channelIn May 1982, a Royal Navy submarine torpedoed and sank an Argentine cruiser, the General Belgrano. It remains a controversial act, but at the time Britain and Argentina were at war over the Falkland Islands. Find out how this sinking occurred and the fascinating history of the General Belgrano, a ship that had survived the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941!
