A British nuclear submarine used a few dumb torpedoes to sink
an Argentinian Cruiser. The sinking kept the Argentinian surface fleet in port
out of fear.

If the Argentinian surface fleet had more guts they could of made the 
British expeditionary force suffer greatly. May of even changed the outcome
of the war.

The Argentinian sub fleet didn't sink anything but they really kept the
British Anti-Submarine ships very busy. The Brits didn't sink any subs and
the Argentinians were able to shoot a few fish but no ships sunk.
