The Falkland defenses are 50 times stronger than they were. Moreover: we now have ultra-quiets (the Astute class) to nullify their surface navy. No-one in Argentina is going to want another ‘Belgrano’.

Plus everyone on the island is British - there’s zero demographic pressure.

The Argies will never get it back.

Tragically, Astute is not in service yet.

Thank you for that positive assessment. I hope you are right. You sound like you live there or have inside information. Do you think the Argies will try to take it back?
