The Argentines don't have any Exocets, and even if they did the UK is now in possession of the codes which make them useless.
I'm not sure on the state of the Argentine offensive weapons, but to quote a rather rubbish source:
In May 2010, Defence Minister Nilda Garre announced that the Navy would continue working on a system that would enable the launch of Exocet missiles from the Navy’s P3 Orion aircraft. In addition, the financing of the local development and construction of a coastal Naval defence system that may also be based on the use of Exocet missiles similar to the Excalibur system.
However:
As of 2013, only 16 of a total of 70 navy vessels are in a condition to sail due to shortfalls in the fleet’s maintenance budget. On 23 January 2013 the Type 42 destroyer Santísima Trinidad sank at her moorings having been mothballed for ten years
