Good point - as I recall Bob, both Hunt and Barker called for a similar show of force way in advance of the invasion, which as you say may well have deterred the somewhat desperate Galtieri from putting his plans into action.
One would have expected some form of HMG contingency plan that involved public sabre rattling....given the past history of the sovereignty of the islands!
An easy win for HMG I would have thought!
