Ignoring the fact the WW2 claim is wrong (unless the statement was meant to include `from a US sub`) is that legal?
1. 1982, HMS
Conqueror versus ARA General Belgrano comes to mind.
2. December 9, 1971, the Pakistani submarine
PNS Hangor sank the Indian frigate
INS Khukri (F149).
(Maybe he meant by a US sub?)
EDIT: I see that CAEBr and I posted at about the same time...
