Well that; and the Argies would never have invaded in the first place, for they knew the capabilities of a fully armed and operational Audacious class.

@Joshua_N-A As it was in '82 the Navy did. Chaff (a physical countermeasure that confuses the missile by blinding it with fake targets) successfully protected the ship originally targeted on the day Sheffield was lost. As it was of the two missiles the Argies had loosed off; only one actually hit anything... and it was the wrong ship... and the missile failed to go off. (the Sheffield being lost to fire rather than the missile itself; and only got hit due to the main radar being switched off for a long range call by the C/O) Ironically both sides had shipboard Exocet missiles; but they were deemed almost useless in combatting any actual ship to ship situation; as the task force commander would otherwise have taken on the Belgrano with missiles, instead of having to go round the red tape houses to get a Submarine strike.
