Original Note:
While a tragic loss of life, the sinking of the Belgrano was not a war crime. To quote Hector Bonzo, captain of the Belgrano when it sank, speaking in 2009: "It was absolutely not a war crime. It was an act of war, lamentably legal." https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/britain-was-right-to-sink-the-belgrano/ (via Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARA_General_Belgrano)
