Yeah, have to admit we were not quite the power in 1982 that were were in 1805.

Most of the ships lost in the Falklands were sunk due poor tactics. Those exocets didn't help much either.
It's interesting that France proved to be a stronger ally to the UK during that conflict than ole Ronnie.

No kidding MarkO. It's kind of hard to drive a ship with both hands in the air.
