Drach, had any thought been given to Vanguard being given a limited refit and then more or less permanently docked but kept in commission much akin to Victory, Caroline and (outside the channel's scope) Bristol? Surely that would have been the best outcome for both sides - a saving of money but at least they can say it stayed around flying the White Ensign *just* in case it was needed with needed repairs being done by seaman recruits and officer cadets that could "learn on the job"

Just imagine if she had lasted along with Hood and the pair had sailed in the dead of night to go hunting for Belgrano for one last glorious gun dual

I would think that 15inch gunfire from HMS Vanguard would have been pretty effective at putting Stanley Airport out of commission and breaking the airbridge the Argentines had with their mainland.

Vanguard in San Carlos would have been a hoot.
