With regard to the choice of weapon to sink the belgrano,I believe that it was influenced by the fact that Tigerfish was at the time an ASW weapon and hence unsuitable against a hard skinned surface asset.On the video by National Geographic looking for the wreck there is a clip of an interview with the weapon p.o. who said that he never got a tigerfish to detonate when fired on the range.Trusty MK8 did the job they were designed for against a similiar vintage vessel
