TLAM from the silent Service would indeed create the primary effect of closing the runway - and pretty effectively too.

But - it wouldn't have what was the greater strategic effect of ensuring that large numbers of Argentine aircraft stayed 'fixed' around Buenos Aires and therefore took no part in the battle.

Its not just a question of blowing things up, killing people and breaking stuff
