I know we shouldn't respond to guests stirring up trouble, but anyway...

If you're refering to the General Belgrano, then I can't see your point. The ship was sunk, as it posed a threat to the fleet. Its escorts were not sunk. They did not pose a significant threat to the fleet on their own. They were left to pick up suvivors.

Yes, the circumstances surrounding her sinking were somewhat dubious, but do remember who started that pointless little war, by invading another country.
