    Even the captain himself said it wasn’t a war crime, and they were legitimate targets.

    The issue in question was that Britain designated a specific area around the Falklands as a “no sail zone” and the destroyer was outside that area. It was sailing directly into towards the zone, however.

    Even so: As mentioned elsewhere, the captain of said ship even said he was a legitimate target.

    EDIT Shit, this is NCD….all according to plan? Destroyer upgraded to submarine.
