Sea Slug in the Falklands: firings and discarded missiles

The firing account distinguishes an unsuccessful antiaircraft engagement from later attempts to use Sea Slug against land targets. Antrim is credited with one missile fired at a low-flying aircraft, without a hit. An initial statement that Glamorgan fired five missiles is corrected: two were jettisoned for safety after the ship was struck by an Exocet. The remaining three were directed at shore targets, two against the runway for denial and debris-scattering effects and one against the Port Stanley radar site. None of those shore attacks is credited with confirmed results. This record supports the recommendation to replace Sea Slug with a more useful air-defense system.
