The ARA General Belgrano sailed on its last voyage from Ushuaia on 26 April 1982. The ship (formerly USS Phoenix) was a Brooklyn-class WW II era light cruiser that served in the Argentinian Navy from 1951 until it was sunk on 2 May 1982 by torpedoes from the HMS Conqueror. Its sinking cost the lives of 323 men, roughly half of the Argentinian deaths in the war. Even though it (and all other Argentinian naval ships) had been ordered the day before to launch a "massive attack" on the British fleet, there is some controversy over the sinking since it took place just outside the 200-mile total exclusion zone around the Falklands Islands.
The ending of the episode, ends with Hammond, Clarkson, and May running out of a barn and then getting shot at because of the incident with the number plate that referred to the Falklands war which is the same ending as the film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
"[first lines] Jeremy Clarkson: Hello and welcome to the second part of the Top Gear Christmas special: the part where it all goes wrong. Richard Hammond: As you probably saw in the first programme, we were doing an homage to the V8, driving all the way across Patagonia, from the town of Bariloche, here, on our way to the town of Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego. James May: Now Ushuaia is the city from which the battleship Belgrano sailed on its final voyage at the beginning of the Falklands War. And as a result of that, the British are not... overly popular down there. Richard Hammond: In a bid to build bridges we were planning to build a stadium when we got there and play an Argentinian team at car football. Jeremy Clarkson: However there was a problem. Someone on an Argentinian website noticed that the car I was driving sported the number plate H982FKL and they wondered if perhaps this was a reference to the 1982 Falklands War. Now we've been made aware of the issue shortly after we arrived in Argentina, but there was nothing really we could do, I mean you can't just change a car's number plates. We did, however, develop a plan that would solve the issue when we arrived in Ushuaia. Unfortunately, as you will see at the end of what follows, we were never given the chance."
"Jeremy Clarkson: Right, here's the situation: We're holed up in this room - I don't know whose it is but it isn't ours. Uh, there's a gang - nationalists, whatever - believe that the Falklands are Argentinian, they don't like the British, and they're in the hotel. We're stuck in here and we don't know what's going on."
