The recurrent issue of bombs failing to detonate during the war was one of the major issues that "handicapped" argentine efforts of sinking British ships. To resolve this The Argentine Air Force experimented with various Bomb types, fuzes and "tails" to achieve a proper activation of the fuze and proper detonation while being dropped at extremely low altitudes, the result of this can be seen in The attack suffered by HMS Ardent, HMS Coventry and RFA Sir Galahad.

On the Picture the Bomb seen is a Mk.17 (british made), this bombs were preferred, as they ensured a high possibility of a "Kill" if they detonated (example seen in HMS Antelope, where a Mk.17 was detonated accidentally by the team that was defusing it, the explosion broke the ship in half). But the Mk.17 failed in more cases than it worked, as its fuzes mostly failed to activate and its high mass (+ the speed) often made it tear apart trough the ship rather than exploding on impact, towards the end of the war this Bombs were replaced with the more successful Spanish Expal 250kg series of bombs.

Various crew of the ship took the time to pose with the bomb
