The Government that can't seem to work out that invading someone else's sovereign territory resulting in them sinking your warship with regular weapons is not illegal.

Even the captain himself said it wasn’t a war crime, and they were legitimate targets.

Sinking a warship during a war… Yeah, seems pretty legit

The issue in question was that Britain designated a specific area around the Falklands as a “no sail zone” and the destroyer was outside that area. It was sailing directly into towards the zone, however.

Even so: As mentioned elsewhere, the captain of said ship even said he was a legitimate target.

EDIT Shit, this is NCD….all according to plan? Destroyer upgraded to submarine.
