Submarine and aviation lessons from 1982

What lessons did submarine and naval aviation communities draw from the Falklands War?

Aviation urgently needed organic early warning, while British submariners needed dependable torpedoes; a Second World War weapon sank Belgrano amid problems with newer types.

The aviation lesson returns to the absence of organic AEW over the task force. For submarines, weapon reliability was central: the successful attack on General Belgrano used older torpedoes, while problems with modern weapons shaped other engagements. The exchange is a reminder that a platform's theoretical power depends on working sensors and ordnance.
