Disclaimer & comment rulesOne of the most beautiful examples of Argentinian naval pride. There are many things that can still be admired for my Andean neighbor, of which this is one.

Jul 10th, 2012 - 04:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@3 Perhaps we should have a “demonstration”, and blow a hole in the bottom of its hull. Perhaps we should look at “preservation”. Probably best “preserved” at the bottom of the South Atlantic. Did the argies get British permission before “sailing” outside their territorial waters? Can't have that. The world's seas belong to the UK and the US.

To “scuttle” a ship is when the crew does it to their own ship.
Otherwise the verb is to “sink” the ship.
Sorry, my sly humor may have been eluding.

Jul 11th, 2012 - 09:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0After all the fuss Argentina made about “militaristic” Britain having a ship patroling the South Atlantic, it turns out they have their own naval vessell patroling in the same area.
