Exocets in the Falklands

According to Wikipedia, "the Exocet became noted worldwide when Argentine Navy Dassault–Breguet Super Étendard warplanes carrying the AM39 Air Launched version of the Exocet caused irreparable damage which sank the Royal Navy destroyer HMS Sheffield on 4 May 1982. Two Exocets then struck the 15,000 ton merchant ship Atlantic Conveyor on 25 May. Two MM38 ship–to–ship Exocet missiles were removed from the old destroyer ARA Seguí, a retired US Navy Allen M. Sumner–class vessel and transferred to an improvised launcher for land use ... One of these was fired at, and caused damage to, the destroyer HMS Glamorgan on 12 June."
