The last ship sunk by a submarine is the Argentinean Navy vessel ARA General Belgrano, a former WWII U.S. Navy Brooklyn-class light cruiser (USS Phoenix (CL-46)) sold to Argentina in 1951. She was sunk by 2 of a spread of 3 Mark 8 torpedoes from the British Royal Navy submarine HMS Conqueror (S48) during the Falklands Islands War on May 2, 1982, sinking the Belgrano in minutes and killing 323 sailors out of a crew of almost 1100.
HMS Conqueror also has the distinction of being the only nuclear submarine to have engaged and sunk an enemy target with torpedoes in armed conflict.
