I definitely wouldn’t say Britain got shown up by conscripts... Once they actually got to the Falklands they smacked Argentina around.

A win was certain but Britain took a lot of unnecessary losses. The navy got caught with their pants down and took significant damage from anti ship missiles

I would say it's the equivalent to the US in Grenada

all modern navies learned critical lessons via modern anti ship missiles as did the US in 1987 via the USS STARK
