The Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary made the
decision to send nuclear-powered submarines on March 29th.

And that again was just moving hardware around so it could be
used if it was decided to use it given the long time it takes to get
that sort of hardware where it could be used to **** over the Argys.

It wasn't true either, the one that torpedoed the battle ship wasn't the one
seen "going" to the falklands.

I expect the show of forces was expected to get the argentinians to leave.
However it didn't.

Then the Americans had to persuaded to give logistics support or we couldn't
have invaded at all.
We just didn't have the kit to do it.
