Argentine Navy had more Exocet missiles on board their ships than the British Task Group at that time.

One thing is to play on of these two scenarios(England or Argentina) an another thing is the real life. But it made me think, what if....

IMHO the Argentinians would have been at risk from the SSNs and possibly have suffered a similar fate as that of the Belgrano.
