The submarine in question can carry over 240 nuclear warheads , the conventional tomahawk cruise missiles are also capable of hitting anyway in argentina so that in it's self is enough to stop the Argentines from invading...

Falklands total population is around 2500 people. 1500 British soldiers have been sent to battle for/defend "Malvinas" as they now call it

The US lost about that number of their citizens on Sept 11...

How many soldiers have they sent to various battles in the aftermath?

The people of the Falklands are 100% British Citizens and deserve full and total protection from foreign threats.

The distance counts for nothing and I fail to understand why people are making that the main talking point.

History Repeating itself... for how long over and will this ever be resolved? Looks to me they are just preparing for periodic sacrifices - just like 9/11

en.wikipedia.org...

1982 - Falklands War I

"Argentine forces invaded and occupied the Falkland Islands and South Georgia. The British government dispatched a naval task force to engage the Argentine Navy and Air Force, and retake the islands by amphibious assault.

Deaths
649 Argentine military personnel
255 British military personnel
3 Falkland Islanders

"Argentina has asserted that the Falkland Islands are Argentinian territory since the 19th century and, as of 2012, shows no sign of relinquishing the claim. British government saw it as an invasion of a British dependent territory. However, neither state officially declared war and hostilities were almost exclusively limited to the territories under dispute and the local area of the South Atlantic."

"Relations between the United Kingdom and Argentina were restored in 1989 under the umbrella formula which states that the islands' sovereignty dispute would remain aside."

What are you talking about...

The submarine is of the Trafalgar class... it can only carry 30 cruise missiles. Not even nuclear apparently.

Trafalgar class submarine
Weapons and sensors

The Trafalgar class is equipped with 5 x 21-inch (533 mm) torpedo tubes with accommodation for a mixture of 30 weapons;

Tomahawk land-attack cruise missiles - range over 1,240 miles (over 2,000 km)[8]
Spearfish wire-guided heavyweight torpedoes

They could put tactical nukes on those cruise missiles but I doubt there's any nuke onboard at this time.
