The "General Belgrano(?)", an Argentine cruiser of WWII USN vintage was 
torpedoed and sunk during the Falklands (Malvinas) War.  Lots of people 
died, and the Argentine Navy never got near the Falklands for the rest of 
the war.  Note that the Argentines claimed that the Belgrano was never in 
the war zone, but the British (obviously) disagreed.  Does anyone know 
what was really going on?
