So new to the forum? really?
I read Gordon Brown profile (It is right under his name) as this: Join Date: Jul 2006 | Location: Number 10 No longer | Age: 72 | Posts: 58 |
New? Some folks read more than they post.
As to the topic:
I read a translated Lessons Learned, from the Russian side, when I was at staff college. It had been made available after The Wall fell .
One of my takeaways from that was their pointing directly to the poor training of the Argentine sub crews; given the number of torps launched but ships not hit. Their own diesel sub fleet was still pretty sizeable at the time.
Been years, but they also IIRC noted two other things:
Task Force Air Defense issues for the RN
The usefulness of the carriers with Harriers, etc.
^^^^^^ I have always wondered if their later carrier developments were informed by the RN experience in the South Atlantic.
