C-130 "Long range Bomber":



The AAF also used this venerable transport aircraft to attack the british shipping on route to the Malvinas.

2 aircraft C-130B from the 1th air brigade was modified with a Canberra bombsight and aditional pilons to carry 12 x FAS 250 kg bombs.

The makeshift solution was succesful and the Hercules hit 2 ships, the British  Wye (damaged) and a Liberian  tanker ironically called "hercules" that ship was so badly damaged that eventually sunk.
