In this article I take a look at the life of the Brooklyn class light cruiser USS Phoenix.
More famously you will likely know her as ARA General Belgrano, but I start off from the keel up taking a look back at the ship and its life and ultimate demise. On May 2 1982 the ARA General Belgrano would be sunk by the nuclear powered hunter killer submarine HMS Conqueror in an event that would cause controversy to this day. After nearly 3 months of research and piecing together some facts from various sources including Argentine for me at least it was an open and shut case and I can only find that General Belgrano was sunk as a legitimate act of war.
