Don't get me wrong - big fan of the Iron Lady's work. but there was a point raised on a TV show by that beyond-her-use-by-date Germaine Greer that stated that Mrs T was a war criminal for sinking the Belgrano.
Seemed like a fair enough shot to me - that ship did have the capability of causing quite a bit of damage had it managed to get stuck into the carriers and support vessels - probably completely jeopardising the entire operation. So even if the Belgrano was crewed by nuns and handicapped children and filled with fluffy kittens and puppies - operationally the best course of action was to have her sunk.
Why is the claim made that the sinking is a war crime?
