Badly needs copy-editing to clean up the text. Sturmvogel 66 ( talk) 04:26, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
He was many things, but surely not a commando unless we are talking about the gov propaganda about how the Lagartos team were still fighting down there. Now, I cannot find any good source about the rest of his companions to tell if they were all from naval intelligence like him or if some of them were really buzos tacticos. Can we please rephase this group of men to another thing instead of commandos, may be using some tag or something. Any help will be appreciate.-- Jor70 ( talk) 17:32, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
It would be better to discuss this before making such change -- Jor70 ( talk) 23:07, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
I'm concerned the edit on Guerrico may be slightly misleading. It implies that it took 3 days to repair, dry dock time would be required to repair the hull and make it water tight. Repair time would be the total time it took to return to service, Guerrico took no further part in the war and she was cannibalised for spare parts to improvise an Exocet launcher for the Falklands. My suggestion would be to add she took no further part in the war and leave it at that. Justin talk 22:04, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
The article says "Mills approached the Argentine positions waving a white coat, and surrendered,[6] "after achieving his aim of compelling the Argentine troops to use military force." - Can anyone fill in WHY that was his aim? I don't have access to this information and it seems like that only glaring omission in the article.

The BAS team (which also included a research student from Aberdeen University) on the island at the start of this phase of the conflict was in several components and locations - those on the KEP base and those at the various field stations and working locations, including Cindy Buxton and Annie Price at St.Andrew's Bay (SAB)(2) and the Bird Island Team and those of us at Lyell Glacier Hut (2). The dispersal of some KEP staff to the latter two locations, and the removal of the main group - captured by the Argentine party and missing for a number of days until released in Montevideo - changed the numbers and the dynamics. The Thirteen left on the island as the conflict deepened had a challenging time coping with the limited communications, the decline of weather conditions at the end of the summer field season, lack of clarity on the trajectory of the conflict locally and the shortage in the Lyell case of adequate supplies. This period 2-24 April is somewhat better captured in the relevant sections in Bob (Robert) Headland's and also in Cindy Buxton's books. Though the Lyell story and the Bird Island men's experience are also less well articulated. After the RRS Bransfield left the area, the SAB/SG party was clandestinely supported by HMS Endurance, but the rest of the BAS team was more isolated and left in the end to be gathered and evacuated from KEP via HMS Antrim and HMS Antelope. That experience was a whole further story. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C4:701D:F901:84BC:2B8C:D0EF:8066 ( talk) 14:41, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
