The Tigerfish turned out to be a techno-turkey and when HMS Conquerer was on patrol off the Falkland Islands during the Falklands war when it encountered ARA General Belgrano instead of firing its unreliable Tigerfish it fired a spread of three Mk-VIII torpedoes (Two of which struck and sunk the General Belgrano). Which was ironic in that a late 1930s vintage light cruiser was sunk by a 1930s vintage torpedo.
