Did Argentine Aircraft Attack HMS Invincible? (The Last Exocet Attack)

In late May 1982, Argentine Navy was left with only one AM39 Exocet missile. Their Super Etendards had successfully attacked and sank two British ships but the main prize, the two aircraft carriers was still untouched. Could the last anti-ship missile be the silver bullet and bring the victory to Argentina? What exactly happened and why is this the most controversial airstrike of the entire Falklands War?
