Wasn't exactly a spring chicken at the time. Going by that kind of calculation, the Argentinians actually did better by sinking a Type 42 Guided Missile Destroyer, the Sheffield, and five other vessels.
And the Brits used 50 year old torpedoes to sink a nearly 50 year old ship. Sporting of them, eh what?
