Well, UK deciced to abandon Navy. Weakness invites trouble. This time UK would have to give up without a fight.

Well ... partially correct ...

No classic Force Projection available ...

However, a British 688-Class Attack Sub should sink every Argentine Naval Vessel it sees ...

I doubt the Argentines have the stomach for that kind of action ...

Nonsense.

We have a naval force in the South Atlantic, inc at least nuclear submarine, air cover, and the garrison on the actual island that is ten times the size and much better armed than 1982, to the point that it wouls shred a landing by itself.

The initial British force would be enoiugh to hold off or even defeat any Argie moves. And cuts aside, we would still have more than enough to send another Task Force south, this time much more advanced than 1982.
