General Belgrano

Argentine battle cruiser torpedoed and sunk on 2 May 1982 by the British nuclear-powered submarine Conqueror during the Falklands War. At the time of the attack it was sailing away from the Falklands.

The General Belgrano was Argentina's second-largest warship, weighing 13,645 tonnes and armed with Exocet missiles, Seacat anti-aircraft missiles, and Lynx helicopters. Out of the ship's company of over 1,000, 368 were killed. The Belgrano had been purchased from the US Navy in 1951, having survived the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
