    No doubt it was sabotage and guess who will get the blame,

    Falkland special forces,

    No doubt conjured up by Spain and Argentina .lol

    I take it the Argentine Navy will purchase the Costa de Cabo as it passes the strict quality criteria needed to be a ship of the Argentine Navy.

    However as it has been fishing in Falkland Island waters, lucky it didn't seek an Argentine port.

    And I guess it hasn't actually sank.....
