The Falklands War did not involve this sort of fighting (at sea.)

Sailors on the HMS Sheffield may beg to differ. Same with the sailors on the Admiral Belgrano (Actually this vessel was the USS Phoenix (CL-46)- the first ship to exit Pearl on December 7, 1941).

The Sheffield and the Belgrano were not sunk using small arms... that is what I think the author is referring to.
