This Argentinian navy SP-2H Neptune with serial 0708 discovered Royal Navy frigate HMS Sheffield on 4 May 1982, which ultimately led to the sinking of the ship by the Argentinian navy. The Neptune was retired soon after this mission and is now preserved in the Argentinian naval aviation museum at Comandante Espora naval air station.
