Britain May Seek Naval Cuts In Defense Review
British defense chiefs expect the today review to propose large cutbacks in the Royal Navy despite seapower's role in the Falklands campaign. Defense Secretary John Nott may push reductions to a smaller surface fleet, provoking anger from defense lobbies as Thatcher plans a top level inquiry into the war's background. Meanwhile Argentine prisoners are being repatriated as juntas scramble for a successor and the Norland ships 2000 prisoners to Puerto Madryn.
