Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified 2 external links on HMS Sheffield (D80). Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20070425070019/http://www.fuerzaaerea.mil.ar/conflicto/dias/may04b.html to http://www.fuerzaaerea.mil.ar/conflicto/dias/may04b.html

An attempt to get a bit more structure into the article to make it an easier read. Still needs work though... - Snori (talk) 04:52, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[1] I was planning to add but having problems with the tool to convert to a reference. Save for later or for any kind soul to do in the mean time. WCM_email 10:54, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

But it doesn't mention Sheffield explicitly. Maybe better to put this with this reference into the main Falkland War article? --Ozzy (talk) 12:23, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I vaguely remember reading that one of the problems experienced by the Sheffield was that its missile-defense systems had been programmed to ignore friendly missiles, and the Exocet, being French, was seen as "friendly" (thanks to the expected response to a Soviet attack) and not dangerous. Am I wrong in that? --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 14:24, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it is nonsense, the ESM system on Sheffield, had it not been transmitting on SATCOM would have classified the Exocet as a threat. WCM_email 14:55, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
