But we can " bounce " on it for talking about Exocet very efficient and very dangerous for RN coz it is one of the first sea skimming anti-ships missiles, altitude max 20 m put in service mid 1970's with Harpoon Gabriel also Soviet missiles some supersonic SS-N-12/19 but no sea skimming the first is SS-N-22 in 1984.
Argentinians have
5 Super Etendard ( on 14 ordered ) a flight with 5 AM-39
MM-38 : 4 on the 2 Type 42 and 4 Summer/Fletcher modernised i don' t think much reloads or so few by ex have only 60 Sea Dart for the 2 Type 42.
2 AM-39 fired vs Sheffield in radar picket around the CBG
2 vs Atlantic Conveyor initialy for Alacrity/Amazon but Deviated by chaff and missiles hit the more big target... !!! an precious ships with initialy 11 helos and 14 Sea Harrier/Harrier ! fortunately much have left before Attack.
One Attack by MM-38 retired from a DD transported by C-130 up to Falklands and fired from a costal launcher improvised hit DDG Glamorgan.
