I was watching the History Channel (big surprise), and they had an interview with an officer from the British sub who torpedoed the Belgrano.
He said that they used a WWII type torpedo because it had a larger warhead than the newer guided torpedoes, and didn't think the smaller warhead would do the job. Apparently, WWII surface warships were more heavily armored and more compartmented than modern ships.
