It suffered damage and, although it could still sail, was forced to dry dock to change a part of its hull. On its return, it was hit by the third torpedo launched by the submarine Conqueror aimed at the cruiser ARA General Belgrano. It was noteworthy together with the Cruiser and another destroyer in the attack on the British fleet, without being able to find it. Over forty years after its construction, with obsolete technology, scarce maintenance and many out-of-service machineries, it was still present during the whole campaign with a prominent role that, for several reasons, remained hidden until today.ĭuring the Falklands/Malvinas conflict, it patrolled the north of the archipelago to allow the recapture of the islands.
This book is an enthralling account of the role played by the destroyer ARA Bouchard in the Falklands/Malvinas War.
