CHAPTER SIX ELECTRONIC WARFARE
…
There have also been several questions raised concerning the use of helicopters in an Exocet decoy role. Although no details have been released by official British sources it is possible that some helicopters towed a radar corner reflector similar to the manner in which a surface ship might do with an acoustic torpedo decoy. Since neither the carriers reportedly being protected nor the decoys themselves were attacked by Exocet missiles, it was not possible to judge the effectiveness of such a surmised decoy.

A pesar de que las fuentes britanicas no publicaron datos oficiales, es possible que algunos helicopteros arrastraran un angulo reflector de radar en forma similar a lo que hace un navio de superficie con el señuelo acustico antitorpedo.

Me estaba alejando de la guerra que supuestamente tenia que reportar.
La carga del Sir Gerain era necesitada en tierra, pero nos llevabamos todo de vuelta al mar. Entonces, entendimos la cosa. Por cinco dias, el Sir Geraint actuo como señuelo de exocets. Despues del hundimiento del Atlantic Conveyor, cuando el navio alejo a un exocet del Invincible, quedo claro que la mejor manera de protejer a nuestros vulnerables portaaviones de los exocets era colocar navios sacrificables alrededor de ellos. Y nosotros eramos uno de ellos...
