I remember the Brits were very unhappy when the british media reported that there were unexploded bombs in some of the ships. They didn't want the Argintinians to know about the fuze situation. One thing that interested me was the ammount of damage caused by the impact of the bombs that did not explode. Damage to all sorts of systems, fires, crew injuries etc. I guess when you drop a 500lb (226kg) hunk of steel at a fwe hundred knots its going to make a mess. Same with the exocet. Quite a bit of the damage is caused by the impact and the unused rocket fuel even if the warhead does not explode.
