HMS Sheffield Type 42
The ship was part of the task force during the Malvinas war. Was struck by an Exocet anti-ship missile launched from a Super Etendard aircraft belonging to the Argentine Navy on 4 May 1982 and foundered on 10 May 1982.

luckily although the missile went through ship and caused fire which claimed 20 lives,it did nit explode.on the 10th of may after burning for six days she was towed out to deep water between falklands and south georgia and then she was sunk.
