Belgrano...
The Argies were able to do it at sea under 3 missile system and guns, so I reckon it could be done.
Maybe an LGB capability could have been grafted onto the Vulcan in order to attack a moored Belgrano from above the MEZ?
I have read the Bicheno book and the possibility of those 6-inch shells raining onto the landing beaches is quite thought-provoking.

I just think of Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and Prinz Eugen in Brest in 1941/early 1942 and the effort Bomber Command put in to try and damage them.
They did score one or two hits but the three ships were still able to sail in February 1942.

Only a civvy here.
But after the Belgrano was hit, is it true that the escorting Argentine naval frigates chose to sonar sweep the area rather than go to rescue the crew from the belgrano in the liferafts?
