It's our fault for using american """""""""""""""""""""technology""""""""""""""""""""

A ship launched in 1938, that faught through a whole war, then sold second-hand -- and a modern British submarine with a """"""""""professional"""""""""""" crew sank it -- and you blame "american technology"?
If your country couldn't BUILD its own ship, what makes you think you could USE one?
Huh, I wonder what Argentine Naval technology looks like.
Almirante Brown class destroyers - German Built
Drummond corvettes - French Built
Espora-class corvettes - German Design, built in Argentina
Type 42 - British Built
Santa Cruz subs - German again
Salta subs - surprise surprise, German
Doesn't seem like it exists at all. Arges are struggling to maintain their fleet they certainly aren't pushing the limits of technology.

>Banned from /sp/ for posting saying you guys lost so hard in that football game it was like the ship being sunk all over again.
Was worth it.

The General Belgrano was sunk during the Falklands was and lost 900 men.
A ship from before WWII. Like previous comments,
what is the fucking point ?

Hey, we sold it to you "as-is". We can't help it that Brits bought better tech.

First of all it was a modern nuclear sub with technology far beyond that of something designed for 1938.
Second of all that's why you don't deploy Cruisers vs attack Subs.
Use destroyers and depth charge the fuckers. Argentina had no idea what it was doing.

Nigger what are upgrades. You stuck fucking cruise missile launchers on your WW2 battleships to wreck Iraq back in 1991. But it is not the technology that is to blame.
>Argentina had no idea what it was doing.
This is. The fuckers sent the cruiser out with limited to no escorts. They were lucky their carrier wasn't out at sea either with the way they were conducting themselves.
I just find it highly amusing that the British sub captain decided to use old WW2 era torps rather than the modern ones, because he felt they would do the job better against such an old armoured ship design. And the cheeky bastard was right.

Maybe just stick to losing soccer tournaments instead, obviously warfare is too much for you "whites".
