Sunken Warships: Secrets from the Deep - Season 2 Episode 1 -

Formerly the USS Phoenix, the Belgrano survived the attack on Pearl Harbour and was subsequently sold to the Argentine government in 1951, where she assisted in the overthrow of President Juan Peron. She joined the Argentine naval task forces in the Falklands invasion in 1982, where the British Submarine HMS Conqueror fired three torpedoes, two of which hit and sank her. 321 sailors and 2 civilians died in the sinking, turning the tide for the invasion as the Argentine ships withdrew. The loss of the Belgrano remains deeply controversial; the ship was sailing away from the exclusion zone when sunk.
