Pebble Island
On 25 May 1982 an A-4C Skyhawk of Grupo 5 was shot down north of Pebble Island again by "Coventry". The pilot, Capitán Hugo Angel del Valle Palaver was killed. Later, "Coventry" shot down another Skyhawk of Grupo 4 while it was returning from a mission to San Carlos Water. Capitán Jorge Osvaldo García successfully ejected but was not recovered. The next Argentine action that day sank "Coventry". An unguided Sea Dart was launched in an effort to disrupt the attack but missed, and the destroyer was struck by two iron bombs and sank.
