RE: The Falklands...

You seem to be referring to the 4 TRW1700 types, ordered in '77
later modified to 2 TRW1700 and 2 TRW1400 types with the first 2 being built at Thyssen Rheinstahl Werke during the Falkland war. Argentines had 2 German types 209 and a couple of old Guppies. One 209 supposedly shot a total of 6 torps at targets without success (without criticism, a little too far from the target?? lack of agressiveness??). The other stayed in port for the duration (maintenance??). One Guppy was lost at South Georgia Isl. on 4/25/82 (abt. a week before the loss of the Bel-
grano). RB
