while getting everything ready to cross to the islands ( about 1st week of April ) information was given to us that we should expect to encounter one Carrier with it's escort and it's flight group
This implies that you KNEW there was going to be an operation to reclaim the islands. I was under the impression that Galtieri had thought Britain would just fold and accept loss of the islands? Perhaps the leadership were saying one thing while the military were planning for another thing.
Thank you for posting here. It can't be easy coming into the lion's den.
