  1. The torpedoes that hit the Belgrano were old contact fused types. The RN did have a modern torpedo at the time, the Tigerfish, but it was regarded as unreliable and also had a smaller warhead, the Belgrano, as a WWII cruiser had a chunky main armour belt, 5.5 inches thick. Modern warships don't have that. Basically the RN used a WWII era torpedo design to sink a WWII era cruiser.
