That top photo is a Dutch Goalkeeper system equipped with the 7 barrelled GAU-8A of the A-10A.
Far superior to even Phalanx 1B in my opinion.

Thats the atlantic conveyor, that was destroyed on the 25th when the argentinians tried to attack the carrier HMS Invincible.
[qoute]
Despite the bad weather, on 30 May, the Argentinean Air Force and the Naval Aviation started their first really coordinated attack, deploying two Super Etendards and four Skyhawks into attack against what they believed was the main body of the British Task Force. After refueling twice from KC-130s, the strike package made a wide turn around to the south of the British fleet, and then initiated the attack by launching a single Exocet, with Skyhawks following closely behind. The British detected the threat, and shot down the missile and two Skyhawks, while the other two attacked a British frigate, misidentifying her for the HMS Invincible due to the bad weather and intensive smoke caused by AAA and ships moving at high speed.

This is a picture taken of Invincible and Illustrious in the Falklands shortly after the war had ended.
Hermes left the Falklands on July 4th and arrivred in Portsmouth on 21st July.
Illustrious arrived in the Falklands 27th August, the following day Invincible left for Portsmouth and arrived 27th September.

I agree with "55heroes" may be he is right.
I have studied this for years and i have lot of material too, i can give you some of them.
After studying about the attack to Invincible i still waiting for someone who tell or answer me this questions:
- There isn´t any registry of aerial activity from that aircraft carrier, from that date (may 30)...
- Nobody knows where it was the Invincible from the May 30 to July ends, which enter the disguised Illustrious like Invincible in Port Stanley.
- Nobody can explain why the aircraft carrier do not touch land on June 14 (when the others ships, all the others including Hermes touched port Stanley or returned to England.
- It is virtually impossible and irrational that the repairs have become to opened sea, with temperatures below cero and a few hours of light.
- Nobody can´t explain why the second aircraft carrier entered disarmed, if it was the Illustrious it was operative from half-full of June.
- Nobody can´t explain why HMS Illustrious returned immediately to UK from Falklands (obviously to be finished and to be armed).
-Why the HMS Invincible that left to the Falklands had the black tower, and when it arrived in September it had it of gray color? repainted?? may be but i think is another ship, becasue Invincible didn´t had phalanx and the ships who arrives to Porstmouth as Invincible had phalanx.
