Argentine destroyer that led war against Britain sinks, a symbol of decay for once-proud navy
I thought that was the Belgrano and the T42 is still following her.

Santisima Trinidad lies on its side at the naval base in Puerto Belgrano, . . . The government is seeking an explanation from the partial sinking of the Navy destroyer . . . At present the sandy bottom in the shallow water is preventing its total collapse
By that reckoning the Costa Concordia only partially sank too. Maybe something got lost in translation.
