It was the first sinking of a Royal Navy ship in four decades. Early lifeHe was born in La Pampa Province.[1] CareerHe joined the Argentine Naval Academy, graduating first in his class in 1965. Attack on HMS SheffieldOn 4 May 1982, an Argentine scout plane located Sheffield. Bedacarratz and Lieutenant Armando Mayora were the two pilots on duty in the Search and Attack Naval Squadron, and were ordered to take off. Neither pilot had fired an Exocet missile before. The two Super Etendard planes detected Sheffield, out of sight, from 20 miles away. Four seconds after Bedacarratz pressed the release button, the Exocet left his aircraft. Lieutenant Mayora, after seeing the Exocet launch, fired his own Exocet. Afterward, both aircraft turned home for their base, but flew at 15 metres above the sea in the direction of the Antarctic, to confuse the Royal Navy. Sheffield was with {{HMS|Coventry|D118|6}} and {{HMS|Glasgow|D88|6}}. The two approaching aircraft had been picked up by Glasgow; Sheffield was twenty miles away at the time and its operations room was not fully manned so that not everything Glasgow sent was received by Sheffield. At the time, Sheffield was sending a message back to Britain via satellite, meaning that it could not see anything on its radar. There were 281 on board, and 20 sailors were killed, with 26 injured. Bedacarratz retired in 1991, with over 3,500 military flying hours and 200 carrier landings. Personal lifeHe has two daughters, a son and three granddaughters. References1. ^Biography External links
