I strongly recommend to read "Exocet Falklands" by Ewen Southby Tailyour, about SF ops to destroy the SuE / Exocet.
There was three DA missions ordered:
Plum Duff, a DA / Recce mission against Rio Grande. It was aborted early.
Mikado, a DA mission against Rio Grande. Plum Duff was prerequisite of Mikado, so Mikado never started.
Kettledrum, a DA mission against Puerto Deseado.
Also, a recce mission, called Shutter was executed. The idea is boots on the ground to report departures from Comodoro Rivadavia, Rio Gallegos and Rio Grande.
I´ve never heard about a strike from the carriers to the mainland. It was a risky mission, putting in jeopardy the entire operation (lost a carrier and Corporate was off). However, recently desclassified files shows Vulcan missions against the mainland were analyzed and prepared.
Regards!
