board U.S. Navy Kitty Hawk-class attack aircraft carrier USS Constellation (CVA-64) flight deck crewmen ready an A-6A Intruder of Attack Squadron (VA) 165 "Boomers" for launching, during Vietnam War operations in the South China Sea, 25 April 1972

1104 Hours, May 4 May 1982: Captain Augusto Bedacarratz from Argentine Navy's 2 Escuadrilla, flying the Super Etendard,
launched an AM39 Exocet missile that struck HMS Sheffield.






The HMS Sheffield was hit by an Argentine Exocet missile on May 4, 1982 during the Falklands War. 20 crew died in the blast, but the ship remained afloat
after the attack, at least for the moment.

 
A U. S. Huey helicopter equipped and armed with the "TOW" (tube-launched, optically-tracked, wire guided) missile anti-tank weapon takes to the air over Pleiku on May 4th 1972. The new missiles are being used for the first time in the Vietnam war, according to a U. S. Command spokesman.

 
May the souls of fallen sailors and soldiers (of both sides) rest in peace.

Nice picture, although this particular aircraft, this one, serial 3-A-211 didn't arrive in Argentina until July 1983. The aircraft flown by Capt de Corbeta Bedacarratz was 3-A-202, the other Super Etendard during the operation was 3-A-203 flown by Teniente de Fregata Mayora.
