Perhaps not so much what they sent but where she had to sail from and the amount of time it took for her to get there.
Besides we don't have too many surface units available nowadays. Having said that a Frigate would have been a better choice. But it's that same as the Bear Hunt over the North Sea thread and a pair of Typhoons intercepting the Bear Bombers.
A Type 45 is a pretty deadly bit of kit from an anti-aircraft platform perspective. When on patrol in the South Atlantic could probably dispatch the entire Argi' air force before they left their own airspace.
