On the flip side, if you take a devils advocate viewpoint of the event and it's repercussions, the Falklands War was quite possibly one of the best things to happen to the RN.
I say that with regard to improvements in onboard procedures and equipment as a result of lessons learnt the hard way, not to forget the consequential retention of certain ships and capabilities which would have otherwise been lost forever if Nott's defence plans had been fully implemented had there been no war.
