My reading comprehension skills are lacking tonight, as is my memory of history, so I had to do some research. I searched "Falklands War Exocet", and found the name I was looking for:

HMS Sheffield.

War is war, and war is Hell. There should have been no "safe" zones in that war. And, I feel for those Brit and Argentine sailors involved in the Belgrade sinking. They are men of honor, though, and understand the bottom line: It's war, and it's Hell.

I've heard too many times, of soldiers from the past, who were at each others' throats at the time, but....when they meet face to face, many years later, they shake hands, and catch up on old times.

Correction: Belgrano, not Belgrade. Sorry. Belgrade is another war story. I got mixed up again.
