Excellent series – thank you Oriskany.

I never knew that one of the Argentinien Type 42 Destroyers and the British HMS Sheffield were in fact sister ships.

A question: If all or much of the fighting on land was at night, to mitigate the lack of cover, would the British or Argentian forces have used any kind of early night optical devices?

Finally, I remember one of the justifications I heard during The Falklands War, was the concern of the British government about setting a negative precedent: if the UK would not or could not defend the Falklands, then Hong Kong might be next.
