No need to correct anything at all thanks
I know the circumstances about the Atlantic Conveyor (even having family members working on her to get her ready for the voyage). Your account is correct, but the ship was still a civilian ship.
As for:
You cannot blame the Argentine Navy Pilots for attacking her. They couldn’t distinguished between
war ships and supply ships in their screens.

I suppose its just as well they did not sink the hospital ship too then

I do not celebrate the death of either side, and know full well that many of your countries soldiers felt utterly forgotten by the public, and that many in Argentina were much more interested in the world cup, than the conflict.
