they were all over this event:
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2026/mar/4/us-navys-sinking-iranian-warship-fourth-incident-since-wwii/

"On Dec. 9, 1971, a Pakistani submarine, the PNS Hangor, sank an Indian frigate, the INS Khukri, during the Indo-Pakistani War. There were 194 casualties in what was the first sinking of a warship by a submarine since World War II.

On May 2, 1982, the HMS Conqueror launched a torpedo against an Argentine cruiser, the ARA General Belgrano, during the Falklands War. The 323 fatalities who were aboard the warship accounted for nearly half of all Argentine deaths during the entire conflict.

On May 26, 2010, a North Korean minisub sank the ROKS Cheonan, a South Korean cruiser, during the ongoing tensions between both countries. An international investigation, including by the U.S., confirmed the attack’s details. Pyongyang has deputed those findings, however."
