The Santa Fe was discovered by the British as it was leaving South Georgia. It was attacked by helicopters and very badly damaged. This picture taken later after the successful British recapture of South Georgia shows the extent of the damage. An artist's representation of the attack can be seen here: Santa Fe Attacked
