Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  E kiia ana ko Margaret Thatcher i whakahau i te whakamātautau i tētahi taiaho hei whakamahi i te Pakanga o Falklands. I hangaia he taiaho 'rangi mate' huna i te Pakanga o Falklands, ā, i whakahaua kia whakamātauria e te Pirimia o taua wā, e Margaret Thatcher, e whakaatu ana ngā tuhinga. E kiia ana kua mahi tahi a Ingarangi me Amerika ki te whakawhanake i nga laser kaha nui hei whakamahi i te papa pakanga i nga tau 1970 me te 1980. Ko te wherikotanga, i tapaina ko te 'wherikotanga mate', i whakawhanakehia tere na te wehi ki nga patu i a nga Soviets - engari kaore i whakamahia. Engari ko Lady Thatcher i kiia he tino miharo ki te hangarau i whakahau ia kia whakamatautauria i te Pakanga Falklands, i kii te Daily Express. I whakakitea te tīariatanga o te laser i roto i te National Archives, i roto i tētahi reta - i tohua ko 'te tino tūmataiti' mai i te Minita Parenga o taua wā, a Michael Heseltine ki a Lady Thatcher i te tau 1983 e pā ana ki ngā patu o nga Soviets me te tūnga o Ingarangi. Ka mea: 'Ka mahara pea koe i whakawhanakehia e mātou, ā, i whakatūria me te tere rawa he patu taiaho moana, i hangaia hei whakamataku i ngā kaihautū o Argentina e rere iti ana e whakaeke ana i ngā kaipuke, ki te Rōpū Mahi i te Tonga o te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa. 'Kāore te patu i whakamahia i roto i te mahi, ā, ko te mōhiotanga ki a ia, he iti noa iho te whānuitanga.' I whakapuakina te reta i raro i te ture 30 tau. I kitea e te kaiako o Sheffield a Dr David Clarke te reta i tana rapu i roto i nga tuhinga o mua, a ka mea ko te 'aumoni laser moana' e pa ana ki tetahi taputapu i whakamatautauria, engari kaore i whakamahia i te riri, i te wa e tiaki ana nga hoia i te Suez Canal i te 1941. I tae atu a Margaret Thatcher (i mua, i waenganui) ki HMS Hermes i tana hokinga mai i te Pakanga o Falklands. I whakamahia e tēnei pūrere ngā rama rapu kaha hei whakamataku i ngā paerata i a rātau e whakaeke ana i ngā kaipuke Royal Navy. I te tau 1982, i te wā i whakaekehia ai nga Moutere o Falkland, i whakatauhia kia whakamahia te tikanga kotahi hei whakamatau ki te matapo i nga kaiurungi hoariri. I te tekau tau atu i 1980 i kīia e arotahi ana a Ingarangi ki te whakawhanake i ngā pūkaha kaha waenga e hāngai ana ki ngā whāinga māmā ake pēnei i ngā kanohi, ngā pūoko arorangi me ngā pūoko hiko-arorangi. I hangaia ēnei patu ki te ū ki ngā waka rererangi e rere iti ana mā te 'whakamo'o'...
E whakapono ana kua mahi tahi a Ingarangi me Amerika i te whanaketanga o nga laser. I tuhia e Michael Heseltine he reta'tino muna'ki a Margaret Thatcher i te tau 1983. I korerotia e ia nga wehi mo nga Soviet e whakawhanake ana i nga laser me te ahunga whakamua o Ingarangi. I whakakitea mai i te reta he'patu taiaho moana'a Peretania hei whakamiharo i nga kaiurungi. I whakahau a Margaret Thatcher i ngā whakamātautau i te Pakanga o Falklands engari kāore i whakamahia.
