HMS Invincible sunk in 1982, page 39

As I pointed out earlier, I still stand by the fact that this was nothing more than a propaganda attempt by Argentina at the time. What's laughable is that there are still people out there who are willing to believe the propaganda of a war fought over 20 years ago. Those from Argentina who still believe the rants of the mad-man known as Leopoldo Galtieri need to wise-up.

During the war of 1982, Leopoldo Galtieri controlled all radio, televisions, and press in Argentina. No surprise since he'd already had all opposition run off or killed. Leopoldo Galtieri was very unpopular until he invaded the Falklands. He wasn't about to let something like the truth that the British were talking it back stand in the way of his new-found popularity.

Having made a good beginning, the propaganda machine then departed from the established ground rules of the game. In this it was doubtless doing its masters' bidding, for the junta's popularity soared with every success; therefore, the junta reasoned, its people should have a diet of success, while the enemy should be vilified. The Task Force was described as a pirate fleet, while Margaret Thatcher was portrayed as a Viking, a vampire and a Nazi Storm Trooper. There were endless stories of Harriers being sent tumbling in dogfights, of ships sunk, of Hermes and Invincible being damaged again and again, of soldiers dramatically repelling raids.

I don't know if anyone else has looked into this matter, but the "sinking of the Invincible isn't even the most absurd story to come out of the spin machine that Galtieri was controlling. It seems that the British were also cannibals. That's right. Once they capture you, they would cook you for supper. So all you soldiers out there better not think of giving up or you'll end up as dinner.

One of the odder aspects of Argentine propaganda was the story spread among troops on the Falklands that the British would butcher their prisoners; not only that, the Gurkhas would eat them!

The Invincible was not destroyed. (Exhibit A - The HMS Invincible anchored in Portsmouth) The only thing actually destroyed and sunk was the trust of the good people of Argentina.

Until the very last moments the Argentine public sincerely believed that they would win the battle.

You also realize that at the beginning of the war, Argentina only had a grand total of 5 air-launch Exocet missiles. Evidently they kept pulling them from the ocean after they were used, and they kept re-firing them until they hit.
