Nimrod vs Argentine submarine (1984)
Hello all,

I am looking for information about an encounter between a Nimrod and Argentine Type 1700 submarine ARA Santa Cruz on November 1984. The encounter was not down south...but in the English Channel. Santa Cruz was on her maiden voyage, from Emden to her home port in Argentine and she was caught running in the surface by a Nimrod (and HMS Phoebe, a Canberra, a Lynx and surely many others).

The encounter was hardly classified right now (in fact, the files are in the National Archives, along with a beautiful picture of ARA Santa Cruz marked in the header "01 H 120 RAF 1577" and the position and so on ). Anyone recalls this encounter?

Thanks and best regards,
