In part. The loss of their cruiser forced the 25 de Mayo back to port, which certainly relieved the pressure on the TF. However an SSN could do nothing to prevent her aircraft flying from airfields. In summary what the F-lands war demonstrates is the need for well balanced naval forces capable of operating globally.

Which reminds me, its now a decade since an RN Group Deployment with a carrier to the Far East. Well done Labour.
