Topics
Saul David: 本集讨论了1982年5月25日英国海军考文垂号驱逐舰和阿根廷运输舰沉没事件。考文垂号被阿根廷飞机击沉，造成19人死亡。大西洋运输舰的沉没则存在争议，有人认为它是为了保护航空母舰而被牺牲的。 Patrick Bishop: 对大西洋运输舰沉没原因的讨论，有人认为是由于误判造成的，也有人认为是英国为了保护航空母舰而故意牺牲的。 Martin Buster Brown: 作为考文垂号的幸存者，描述了袭击发生时的情景，以及他如何帮助其他船员逃生。 David Hart Dyke: 考文垂号舰长，详细描述了袭击过程，以及他如何带领船员逃生。他认为，如果当时请求海鹞战斗机拦截，或许可以避免沉没。 Tim Gedge: 解释了为什么海鹞战斗机未能拦截攻击考文垂号的阿根廷飞机。 Dave Watkins: 描述了大西洋运输舰沉没后，他如何参与营救幸存者的过程。 Saul David: 本集还讨论了法国可能掌握了对抗飞鱼导弹的技术，但由于法英两国关系复杂，没有提供给英国。这导致了人员伤亡。 Patrick Bishop: 对法国是否故意隐瞒技术表示怀疑，并分析了法英两国长期以来复杂的关系。

Shownotes Transcript

After British successes in landing troops on the Falkland Islands, the Argentinian air force strike back, sinking two British ships with their bombs and French-built Exocet missiles.
