Incidentally, if I remember correctly the Royal Navy deliberately sunk the Belgrano just when there was another big Argentinian warship alongside who would be in a position to pick up as many survivors as possible. A very British approach.

The other warship promptly cleared off as quickly as possible leaving their colleague to the South Atlantic. Not, I hope, what the Royal Navy would have done.
