History
ARA La Argentina was a light cruiser, designed for training naval cadets, built for the Argentine navy. The ship was authorised in 1934, and the contract was put out to tender in 1935, being won by the British company Vickers-Armstrongs at a cost of 6 million pesos.
La Argentina was built in Barrow in Furness, England. She was laid down on 11 January 1936, launched 16 March 1937 and not completed until 31 January 1939, being delayed by the British re-armament programme. She was decommissioned in 1972 and scrapped.
The ship is represented in the game as of 1939 based on the original blueprints from the British archives.
