Type 42s

They had a go.. as part of a pincer. The carrier with the 42s from the North and the Belgrano from the South. The carrier couldn't get enough wind over the deck to launch.. and then it was too late. All ran to port after the SSN struck.

To quote the last 1SL. Not many navies in the world would go to sea in the face of an SSN threat - particularly now. I'm sure if you compared the ability of Conqueror and Astute to locate and track a target the differences would be mind blowing.
