You don't seem to realise the role a type45 will play and also the hidden assets..

Here's one scenario for you

Outside of the argie ports sits a couple of our subs, they deal with either via torpedo or cruise missile any surface ships daring to leave the ports.. The type 45 sits on the west of the island providing air/surface cover for anything wanting to take the direct approach. 4 typhoons provide top cover for anything stupid enough to come round the long routes, mount pleasant and surrounding area covered by rapier and ground defenses. North/South/East seaways covered by typhoons and or any marauding subs we have out there..

I never said we could stop a landing but by the time they get there and land with any force they'd have a hell of a lot of casualties, little logistical support and we'd have reinforcements approaching from the air via Ascension Island.

Or do you think that the argies will be able to get in their paddle boats go directly to the island and land unopposed.. the costs to the argentines would hopefully negate them even trying.. and the leaders would go the way of the last Junta that tried..
